PC and Tech Tips: 10 Steps to a bigger hard drive!
10 Steps to a bigger hard drive!
You may have wondered where all that hard drive space has disappeared to. Right out of the box, hard drive space is not what it appears to be. Computers measure space (hard drive and memory space) in binary values, but the operating system converts them to a more friendly decimal value. The difference means that a binary value for a megabyte is 1024, but the decimal value is 1000. Multiply this by several thousand, and you end up losing hard drive space. Add in the fact that the operating system has to format the drive and use some of the space for indexing and file tables, and you lose even more.
This is unavoidable; however as consumers we can get some of that space back. Through a few simple steps:
1) Look in the control panel for Add remove programs, scroll through the list and uninstall programs that you don’t need.
2) Disable hibernation – control panel, display, screensaver tab, power button, hibernate tab
3) Reduce your recycle bin size – right mouse click on recycle bin, select properties – change the maximum size to 3% to 5%. Also, empty it once in a while – make sure you don’t need anything in it first!
4) Reduce Internet explorer cache – tools, internet options, temporary Internet Files – reduce the cache size to 250Mb.
5) System restore – reduce the size Windows XP reserves for System restoration – right mouse click on My Computer, properties, system restore tab, move the slider to 5%, or for advanced users (that run routine system backups) , disable system restore completely.
6) Delete your internet explorer cache – Tools, internet options, temporary internet files – delete
7) Delete unused profiles – if there are profiles stored on your compiter that you don’t need, or use. You can delete them – right click my computer, p[roperties, advanced, user profiles, settings – delete profiles at your own risk!
8) Clean out temp files – Every user on your pc has a profile, and that profile keeps their internet explorer cache, and temp files stored. Browse to: documents and settings\the user’s name\Local Settings\Temp\ - delete these files, and repeat for each username your find. – be careful with administrator and all users profiles.
If you can’t see these folders, you have to change the view – tools\folder options\view\show hidden files and folders. Change this back after you are done, or leave it be to see all the hidden files and folders.
9) If you use the native Windows XP CD writing software, make sure to select “delete these files after writing” and look in your cdrom drive letter folder for “delete files waiting to be written to disk”
10) Search google or other websites for software that looks for duplicate files, or zero byte files, or backup files. These should be used with caution, as they may delete files that appear to he useless. Your operating system may need them, so check for things like the last time they were used – in which case if they are not used in several months, they most likely are safe to delete. | [

Will Start With The Classics – Thoughts Revisited
Will Start With The Classics
Jillian Vergara November 16, 2014 Post navigation
I’ve been reading really good stuffs yesterday from WordPress people. The Daily Prompt was so good that I just content myself reading some responses, which I did not regret. It was like swimming in a vast ocean full of different treasures. Each response different from the other, creatively written, and full of sincerity. It was overwhelming for me being able to read literary pieces that were made, fresh and fab at that moment.
Also, I don’t know which blog I’ve read this but yesterday, I read a post about reading tips and everything. One of the three tips says Branch out. Meaning, go and try a different genre when it comes to picking which book to read next. I thought the post was directed towards me. Really. With this tip that I think is really worth following, I want to start with the classic books. So today, I’ll be reading The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Anyway, once I’ve found out where I’ve read those tips, I’ll link it here and thank the blogger (because it took me awhile yesterday to digest the whole thing and decide which book I should start reading, for a change.)

Harissa marinated chicken with roasted vegetables and couscous
May 13, 2010 by Claire This is a delicious, healthy meal. It looks healthy too, which makes you feel better in a ridiculous sort of way. Colourful things always shout ‘Healthy!’ for some reason and to an extent this can be proved with science because colourful fruit and vegetables are high in things like vitamin C.
Anyway less of the health preaching and more to the taste. Basically it is spicy, tasty and filling. Or make it lighter by dispensing with the couscous and just serve with roasted vegetables.
Marinate two chicken breasts in a tablespoon of Harissa (I used the delicious Belazu Rose Harissa) a tablespoon of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice and one clove of garlic sliced. Leave for a couple of hours if possible.
Chop up your favourite vegetables for roasting, eg chunks of red onion, slices of courgette, pieces of red pepper, chunks of aubergine and slices of mushroom. Place on a baking tray with olive oil and a few cloves of bashed up garlic and salt and pepper. Roast in a hot oven for about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile soak some couscous in hot water and cover with cling film until it has soaked all the water up. Fluff up with a fork and season with lemon juice, salt and pepper and plenty of chopped coriander.
Chargrill the chicken until crisp and cooked in the centre – 15mins or so.
When the vegetables are done pour them and their juices into the couscous and stir. Place in a pile the veg and couscous into the centre of a plate and put the chicken on the top.

Related ContentBet on Football - Bet £25 and get £25 free The pair have shared a fractious relationship for years, dating back to Benitez's spell in charge of Liverpool and highlighted by the Spaniard's famous rant four years ago in which he suggested Ferguson was never punished for verbally abusing referees and their assistants.
"I could see what was happening from my point of view, and maybe now a lot of people are seeing the same things.
"I will not talk too much about that because it's obvious."
Ferguson's behaviour was brought into the spotlight again on Sunday when he accused linesman Simon Beck of having a "shocking" game in the Red Devils' 1-1 Premier League draw at Tottenham, saying the visitors "never got anything from that side of the pitch".
The Scot has been contacted by the Football Association to explain his comments and has until 6pm on Thursday to respond.
"It's a question for the FA what they do about it," Benitez added.
"What I said at that time was what I thought, and what I'm seeing now is similar.

Prominent Republicans Criticize Obama's Executive Actions - NYTimes.com
Video January 16, 2013, 6:07 pm
Prominent Republicans are accusing President Obama of abusing his executive power by taking 23 executive actions on gun violence at the same time that he asked Congress to pass legislation.
While Mr. Obama’s legislative proposal was sweeping — he asked lawmakers to ban the sale of military-style rifles and close a loophole that allows many gun buyers to avoid background checks — his unilateral actions were smaller. They included ordering federal agencies to share more information with the background-check system; nominating a director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; and directing subordinates to “launch a national dialogue” on mental health issues.
Soon after the White House news conference, Senator Marco Rubio, the Florida Republican who is considered a potential contender for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, denounced Mr. Obama as flouting the role of Congress for taking some actions on his own.
“Making matters worse is that President Obama is again abusing his power by imposing his policies via executive fiat instead of allowing them to be debated in Congress,” Mr. Rubio said. “President Obama’s frustration with our republic and the way it works doesn’t give him license to ignore the Constitution.” Senator Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, also accused the president of exceeding the limits of his executive authority.
“Using executive action to attempt to poke holes in the Second Amendment is a power grab along the same pattern we’ve seen of contempt for the elected representatives of the American people,” he said. “Some of these directives clearly run afoul of limitations Congress has placed on federal spending bringing the president’s actions in direct conflict with federal law.”
And Reince Priebus, the chairman of the National Republican Committee, said Mr. Obama’s series of unilateral steps “amount to an executive power grab” that “disregard the Second Amendment and the legislative process,” violating principles of representative government.
Asked which of Mr. Obama’s 23 executive steps Mr. Rubio had specifically been referring to as an abuse of power that ignored the Constitution, a spokesman for the senator, said in an e-mail: “I think his point generally is that the president should be looking to work with the Congress, not around it.”
By contrast, a spokeswoman for Mr. Grassley, responding to the same question, pointed to two specific steps: Mr. Obama directed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to study the causes and prevention of gun violence and he sent a letter to health care providers saying that a provision in his health law does not prevent doctors from asking patients about guns in their homes.
Those steps, Mr. Grassley’s office contended, ran afoul of federal statutes because a C.D.C. financing restriction “effectively keeps it from conducting any research or analysis related to gun violence” and the health care law bars wellness programs from requiring the disclosure and collection of information about firearms in homes.
Obama administration officials countered, however, that the health care law provision bars the creation of a database, not individual questions by doctors about potentially dangerous situations. And, they said, the plain text of the C.D.C. financing restriction says no funds “may be used to advocate or promote gun control,” which is different from conducting public health research. “For a long time, some members have claimed that that prohibits them from conducting any research on the causes of gun violence,” a senior administration official said during a briefing call with reporters. “Our lawyers looked at it and thought that the definition didn’t really encompass public health research on gun violence, which really isn’t advocacy.” Mr. Grassley’s office also flagged three other steps announced by Mr. Obama as potentially running afoul of federal statutes, saying it was difficult to know for sure without seeing their details.
They included reviewing regulations that protect the privacy of health information to ensure that they do not prevent states from submitting information about mentally ill people to the federal background-check system, improving incentives to get states to participate in the system, and sending a letter to health care providers clarifying that federal law does not prevent them from reporting threats of violence to law enforcement authorities. In the days leading up to the news conference, conservative commentators and media outlets had pressed a theme that Mr. Obama was threatening to take potentially tyrannical anti-gun action by executive order. On Jan. 9, The Drudge Report ran the large headline “WHITE HOUSE THREATENS ‘EXECUTIVE ORDERS’ ON GUNS,” illustrated with pictures of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin. And on Tuesday the radio host Rush Limbaugh told his listeners that the Obama administration cannot get “the gun laws that they prefer” to pass Congress, “so they’re just going to do it unilaterally with the executive order. Now I’m not lying to you when I tell you that is not what executive orders permit.”

Tell us a bit about your interests in reading. Be specific. I generally tend to read novels, usually works on the NY Times Bestsellers list or what my girlfriends pass on to me. I read non-fiction sometimes, mostly about New Orleans or other places that I have lived. What are preferred locations and days for you?
Evenings are best, weekend mornings also work. Coffeeshop locations are always great - anything in the Marigny, Mid City or Uptown. Are you strictly interested in discussing novels? What about short stories, poetry, plays, childrens lit.,etc? I am open and excited about reading and discussing any type of work.
Have lived in New Orleans for two years, finally finished graduate school and am looking for exciting ways to break out of my daily routine and meet new people. | [

A reporter asked if Bush would transfer the "man of steel" moniker to Rudd.
"Heck, yeah," the magnanimous Bush replied.
At Brookings yesterday, Thornton used his introduction of Rudd to celebrate his rejection of a prominent Bush/Howard policy. "The very first act as prime minister was to ratify the Kyoto protocol, which had been sitting dormant too long," he said.
Rudd, a former diplomat, was more subtle. He reminded Americans that Australia is "the 15th-largest economy in the world," with a stock market "three times the size of Singapore" and a military budget that is "the 11th largest in the world." He then suggested that Australia would be doing more leading and less following. "For too long," Rudd said, "our voice has been too quiet in the wider councils of the world."
As an early test of that philosophy, Rudd was about to insert himself into the American presidential race. At the close of the prime minister's speech at Brookings, Australian officials advised the cameras to stick around -- the better to catch Clinton stepping from her motorcade to meet with the prime minister.
The two were planning to talk for five or 10 minutes, before Clinton traveled to Harrisburg, Pa., for a campaign event. But after half an hour behind closed doors, the pair emerged smiling and whispering for the cameras.
Rudd had declared his support for Clinton last year, on the show of Australian comedian Rove McManus, which also included the question "Who would you turn gay for?" Now prime minister, he had to be more circumspect (he also scheduled a meeting with John McCain and a phone call with Obama). When an Australian reporter asked if he is still endorsing Clinton, Rudd would only say "I'm a good friend of Senator Clinton's."
In a reference to the rigors of the campaign trail, the prime minister also confided that he had "every sympathy for Hillary."
But Clinton, trailing Obama in delegates, the popular vote and opinion polls, took a broader interpretation of the prime minister's pity. "I need all the sympathy I can get," she said. | [

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source of federal support for the nation’s libraries and museums. We advance, support, and empower America’s museums, libraries, and related organizations through grant making, research, and policy development. Our vision is a nation where museums and libraries work together to work together to transform the lives of individuals and communities. To learn more, visit www.imls.gov. II. Current Actions IMLS plays an essential role in ensuring that the public dollars invested in museums and libraries benefit the communities they serve. To remain vital to the communities they serve, museums and libraries are increasingly expected to contribute to community wellbeing through activities that promote community assets and address community needs. Making such contributions, however, requires knowledge and skills for community engagement that are not typically part of educational programs that prepare people for professions in these institutions. In addition, organizational structures and processes in museums and libraries are not typically set up to support and facilitate such engagement. In recognition of this capacitybuilding opportunity, IMLS designed E:\FR\FM\03DEN1.SGM 03DEN1 khammond on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 232 / Monday, December 3, 2018 / Notices CCI, a grant program for museums, libraries, and their community partners interested in enhancing the benefits of their collaborative, community-based efforts (i.e., asset-focused, communitydriven collaboration) through (1) intensive training to build museums and libraries capacity for asset-based community engagement, (2) consulting to support implementation of the project grants in local communities, and (3) creating peer opportunities for the museum and library grantees, along with their core partners, to learn from each other and share innovative ideas and promising practices. One- to twoyear grants were awarded to 12 organizations in each of two consecutive cohorts, the first in the fall of 2017 and the second in the fall of 2018. Grantee organizations are either museums, libraries, or other institutions that proposed to collaborate closely with museums and libraries. This proposed evaluation supports the Agency’s FY 2018–2022 Strategic Plan, which frames how the Agency plans to meet the essential information, education, research, economic, cultural, and civic needs of the American public. Under the Strategic Plan, IMLS’s objectives include ‘‘adapt to the changing needs of the museum and library fields by incorporating proven approaches as well as new ideas into IMLS programs and services’’ (4.2), ‘‘encourage library and museum professionals and institutions to share and adopt best practices and innovations’’ (2.2), and ‘‘identify trends in the museum and library fields to help organizations make informed decisions’’ (2.3). This proposed study will be the first evaluation of the entire CCI initiative. It is a summative assessment of CCI implementation and initial outcomes across the two cohorts of grantees and their 24 diverse projects. This assessment builds on the 24 grantees’ evaluations of their own individual projects. It uses a set of common indicators to assess implementation and interim outcomes among museums, libraries, local networks, and communities across all grantee projects.

Title of Collection: Grantee Reporting Requirements for the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program. OMB Approval Number: 3145–0224. Expiration Date: February 28, 2019. Overview of information collection: The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program Module is a component of the NSF Project Reports System that is designed to gather information about students participating in REU Sites and Supplements projects. All NSF Principal Investigators are required to submit annual and final project reports through Research.gov. If NSF cannot collect information about undergraduate participants in undergraduate research experiences, NSF will have no other means to consistently document the number and diversity of participants, types of participant involvement in the research, and types of institutions represented by the participants. NSF is committed to providing program stakeholders with formation regarding the expenditure of taxpayer funds on these types of activities, which provide authentic research experiences and related training for postsecondary students in STEM fields. Consultation with Other Agencies and the Public: This information collection is specific to NSF grantees. NSF has not consulted with other agencies but has gathered information from its grantee community through attendance at PI conferences. A request for public comments will be solicited through announcement of data collection in the Federal Register. Background: All NSF Principal Investigators are required to use the project reporting functionality in Research.gov to report on progress, accomplishments, participants, and activities annually and at the conclusion of their project. Information from annual and final reports provides yearly updates on project inputs, activities, and outcomes for use by NSF program officers in monitoring projects and for agency reporting purposes.

YouTube Adds Another Revenue Source - The New York Times
Internet|YouTube to Sell Advertising on Pages of Search Results
YouTube to Sell Advertising on Pages of Search Results
By STEPHANIE CLIFFORD NOV. 12, 2008
Google announced on Wednesday that it would begin selling space on YouTube search-results pages to advertisers, part of its effort to turn its expensive acquisition into a major revenue producer.
The feature allows anyone who has a video on YouTube to promote it on a search-results page. An advertiser — or a video maker who wants to promote a work — can bid on keywords like “silly cats,” “financial crisis,” “James Bond,” or anything that strikes one’s fancy.
The promoted videos are featured on the right-hand side of the YouTube search-results page with a small image and some text.
Advertisers are charged when a viewer clicks on the ad, and can set a maximum price per click that they want to pay. Google determines which ads will be shown based on what price the advertisers bid, along with factors like relevance to the keyword, which is similar to the way it selects ads shown on Google’s regular search results.
A search product for YouTube makes sense — it had the third-highest number of search queries of any Web property in September, after Google and Yahoo, according to comScore, the online measurement firm.
Advertisers said that they had been waiting for a way to promote their clients’ videos on the site.
“I’ve always liked YouTube, but as an advertising mode, it’s difficult,” said Ashley Vinson, executive producer of integrated creative at the advertising agency DDB Chicago, adding that “I can get my videos to show up when people are doing searches, versus me sending my videos to 20 friends and hoping someone finds it.”
This is one of several efforts that Google has made to increase revenue at YouTube, for which Google paid $1.65 billion two years ago. It has started showing ads within videos and running contests sponsored by marketers. Last month, it added “click to buy” icons to ads that took viewers from YouTube videos to iTunes or Amazon.com.
Google executives have said that the company has not quite perfected its model for the site.
“I personally do not believe that the perfect ad product for YouTube has been invented yet,” Eric E. Schmidt, Google’s chief executive, said in a conference call with analysts in July.
Some advertisers remain nervous about the site, as even Google executives acknowledge.
“There’s the assumption that on YouTube, it’s 17-year-old boys watching dogs’ skateboarding videos,” said Tracy Chan, a Google product manager, at the press conference introducing the feature.
Google is trying to alter that impression by adding professional videos to YouTube. On Monday, it announced that MGM Worldwide Digital Media was making some movies and archival clips available on the site, and CBS began featuring full-length shows on YouTube last month.
MGM, however, is starting off with movies like “Lone Wolf McQuade,” while full-length CBS offerings so far include “MacGyver” and “Star Trek” — which may not prove enough to change the minds of advertisers.

Observations v.2: Oct 26, 2012
A bit of worthless hurricane trivia that doesn't seem so worthless now. If the storm is a category 1 at ground level it is a category 2 ten stories up. I can hear the glass raining down already. No subways running down below and it just started raining in the Village. I suppose this really is the calm before the storm. Let the games begin. | [

Intertwining Roots for Strength and Growth: It's a Wonderful Dream
It's a Wonderful Dream
Have you seen that classical Christmas time film it’s a Wonderful Life? George Bailey has the seemingly perfect life: a loving wife, Mary, four beautiful children, and his own business. However, on Christmas Eve, George has serious business difficulties at the Bailey Building and Loan. George has a major financial crisis when his Uncle Billy loses the cash they owe the bank. The unsympathetic bank owner, Mr. Potter makes things worse. This leads George to a life crisis, and he considers suicide. A visit from his Guardian Angel Clarence shows George how much his life means by showing him how the world would be without him.
It's a magical tale of a man who's allowed to see what his family, his friends and his community would have been like if he had never been born. The moral of the story is that everyone is put on this earth to impact others in their own way. All of us have a unique contribution to make. Your contribution can change the world if you let it.
You may be living your dream and take comfort in this story because you know you are helping people and making a difference; even if times are tough, or things get challenging. The pause to consider the people you are helping will help you live to serve another day.
For others, your dream hasn’t even been born.
For those of us who let our dreams stay in our heads and not in the world; wouldn’t it be cool if we could have an Angel like Clarence show us what the world would be like if we DID bring our dream to life. Who could we help? What impact could we have? What ripple effect would our help have on the people that pass that help on to others?
Is your dream worth it? Can you make a lifelong impact by your special gifts and services? Things got tough for George in the movie, just like they will for you and me. But, in the end, the community came together to help him solve his problem and he was blessed by that. It all worked out. He had impact. The community made sure of it. "Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more." Anthony Robbins
You are not the only one that is hurt by keeping your dream in your head. Do you believe that the world deserves your dream as much as you do? So, do something today to make sure that your dream has the chance to impact people. Do one thing. Do it now!

Eric Falkenstein discusses the ideas of Gary Gorton:This financial crisis has had two legs: the initial boom and bust in housing prices, primarily in the USA, and the accelerator mechanism that then turned this crisis into a panic, affecting financial institutions almost indiscriminately, and countries furthest away from the USA were among the worst performers.There is much more there or excerpts of his paper linked to herein:All bond prices plummeted (spreads rose) during the financial crisis, not just the prices of subprime‐related bonds. These price declines were due to a banking panic in which institutional investors and firms refused to renew sale and repurchase agreements (repo) – short‐term, collateralized, agreementsthat the Fed rightly used to count as money. Collateral for repo was, to a large extent, securitized bonds. Firms were forced to sell assets as a result of the banking panic, reducing bond prices and creating losses. There is nothing mysterious or irrational about the panic. There were genuine fears about the locations of subprime risk concentrations among counterparties. This banking system (the “shadow” or “parallel” banking system) ‐‐ repo based on securitization ‐‐ is a genuine banking system, as large as the traditional, regulated and banking system. It is of critical importance to the economy because it is the funding basis for the traditional banking system. Without it, traditional banks will not lend and credit, which is essential for job creation, will not be created.U.S. financial history is replete with banking crises and the predictable political responses. Most people are unaware of this history, which we are repeating. A basic point of this note is that there is a fundamental, structural, feature of banking, which if not guarded against leads to such crises. Banks create money, which allows the holder to withdraw cash on demand. The problem is not that we have banking; we need banks and banking. And we need this type of bank product. But, as the world grows and changes, this money feature of banking reappears in different forms. The current crisis, far from being unique, is another manifestation of this problem. The problem then is structural.There was a banking panic, starting August 9, 2007.The fundamental business of banking creates a vulnerability to panic because the banks’ trading securities are short term and need not be renewed; depositors can withdraw their money. But, panic can be prevented with intelligent policies. What happened in August 2007 involved a different form of bank liability, one unfamiliar to regulators. Regulators and academics were not aware of the size or vulnerability of the new bank liabilities.In fact, the bank liabilities that we will focus on are actually very old, but have not been quantitatively important historically. The liabilities of interest are sale and repurchase agreements, called the “repo” market. Before the crisis trillions of dollars were traded in the repo market. The market was a very liquid market like another very liquid market, the one where goods are exchanged for checks (demand deposits). Repo and checks are both forms of money. (This is not a controversial statement.) There have always been difficulties creating private money (like demand deposits) and this time around was no different.The panic in 2007 was not observed by anyone other than those trading or otherwise involved in the capital markets because the repo market does not involve regular people, but firms and institutional investors. So, the panic in 2007 was not like the previous panics in American history (like the Panic of 1907, shown below, or that of 1837, 1857, 1873 and so on) in that it was not a mass run on banks by individual depositors, but instead was a run by firms and institutional investors on financial firms. The fact that the run was not observed by regulators, politicians, the media, or ordinary Americans has made the events particularly hard to understand. It has opened the door to spurious, superficial, and politically expedient “explanations” and demagoguery.As explained, the Panic of 2007 was not centered on demand deposits, but on the repo market which is not insured. As the economy transforms with growth, banking also changes. But, at a deep level the basic form of the bank liability has the same structure, whether it is private bank notes (issued before the Civil War), demand deposits, or sale and repurchase agreements. Bank liabilities are designed to be safe; they are short term, redeemable, and backed by collateral. But, they have always been vulnerable to mass withdrawals, a panic. This time the panic was in the sale and repurchase market (“repo market”)....banking panics continued. They continued because demand deposits were vulnerable to panics. Economists and regulators did not figure this out for decades. In fact, when panics due to demand deposits were ended it was not due to the insight of economists, politicians, or regulators. Deposit insurance was not proposed by President Roosevelt; in fact, he opposed it. Bankers opposed it. Economists decried the “moral hazards” that would result from such a policy. Deposit insurance was a populist demand. People wanted the dominant medium of exchange protected. It is not an exaggeration to say that the quiet period in banking from 1934 to 2007, due to deposit insurance, was basically an accident of history.The fragility of our unit banks prior to deposit insurance made an interesting contrast to the system of Canadian branch banks which were more stable due to greater diversification and generally more restrained lending practices.The outstanding amount of subprime bonds was not large enough to cause a systemic financial crisis by itself. ... The issue is why all bond prices plummeted. What caused that? ... Outstanding subprime securitization was not large enough by itself to have caused the losses that were experienced. Further, the timing is wrong. Subprime mortgages started to deteriorate in January 2007, eight months before the panic in August.He is talking here about the early stages of panic before it became full blown in the Fall of 2008.... Subprime started significantly deteriorating well before the panic... Subprime will play an important role in the story later. But by itself it does not explain the crisis.Holding loans on the balance sheets of banks is not profitable. This is a fundamental point. This is why the parallel or shadow banking system developed. If an industry is not profitable, the owners exit the industry by not investing; they invest elsewhere. Regulators can make banks do things, like hold more capital, but they cannot prevent exit if banking is not profitable. “Exit” means that the regulated banking sector shrinks, as bank equity holders refuse to invest more equity. Bank regulation determines the size of the regulated banking sector, and that is all. One form of exit is for banks to not hold loans but to sell the loans; securitization is the selling of portfolios of loans. Selling loans – while news to some people—has been going on now for about 30 years without problems.... No one has produced evidence of any problems with securitization generally; though there are have been many such assertions. The motivation for banks to sell loans is profitability.The parallel or shadow banking system is essentially how the traditional, regulated, banking system is funded. The two banking systems are intimately connected. This is very important to recognize. It means that without the securitization markets the traditional banking system is not goingto function.Institutional investors and nonfinancial firms have demands for checking accounts just like you and I do. But, for them there is no safe banking account because deposit insurance is limited. So, where does an institutional investor go to deposit money? ... The answer is that the institutional investor goes to the repo market.A problem with the new banking system is that it depends on collateral to guarantee the safety of the deposits. But, there are many demands for such collateral. ... The demand for collateral has been largely met by securitization, a 30‐year old innovation that allows for efficient financing of loans. Repo is to a significant degree based on securitized bonds as collateral, a combination called “securitized banking.” The shortage of collateral for repo, derivatives, and clearing/settlement is reminiscent of the shortages of money in early America, which is what led to demand deposit banking....There’s another aspect to repo that is important: haircuts. ... Prior to the panic, haircuts on all assets were zero! For now, keep in mind that an increase in the haircuts is a withdrawal from the bank. Massive withdrawals are a banking panic. That’s what happened. Like during the pre‐Federal Reserve panics, there was a shock that by itself was not large, house prices fell. But, the distribution of the risks (where the subprime bonds were, in which firms, and how much) was not known. Here is where subprime plays its role. Elsewhere, I have likened subprime to e‐coli (see Gorton (2009a, 2010)). Millions of pounds of beef might be recalled because the location of a small amount of e‐coli is not known for sure. If the government did not know which ground beef possibly contained the e‐coli, there would be a panic: people would stop eating ground beef. If we all stop eating hamburgers for a month, or a year, it would be a big problem for McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s and so on. They would go bankrupt. That’s what happened.Faced with the task of raising money to meet the withdrawals, firms had to sell assets.The development of the parallel banking system did not happen overnight. It has been developing for three decades, and especially grew in the 1990s. But bank regulators and academics were not aware of these developments. Regulators did not measure or understand this development. As we have seen, the government does not measure the relevant markets. Academics were not aware of these markets; they did not study these markets. The incentives of regulators and academics did not lead them to look hard and ask questions.There are some interesting summary points there in conclusion. Also a book based upon the authors earlier papers is mentioned here.Eric Falkenstein offers a comparison: Gorton vs LewisHis main evidence that this was a system-wide crisis was that securities backed by autos, credit cards, student loans, and financial companies of varied focus all declined, even though default rates in these other classes were not changing much. A financial crisis is when all finance becomes suspect, created a self-fulling prophesy because the system is always insolvent if there is no confidence in the system.It's very interesting to think of financial crises, and recessions they cause, this way, as overreactions caused by people not being able to suss out the essence of a crisis in real time. Gorton notes crises occurred regularly in the US (1819, 1837, 1860, 73, 84, 90, 93, 1907, 1914, 1931-33), and every time, people are befuddled. When a a drastic change occurs, such as the change from Free Banking era (1837-62) to the National Banking era, or the creation of the Federal Reserve, after about 10 years they think they have eliminated business cycles. They put in new institutions, but because they don't fully understand the old institution, they fail in totally unappreciated new ways.Gorton notes that fixes are perhaps futile. Indeed, he has some recommendations, one that the government insure 'approved AAA' paper, to help reduce the risk of a panic, but given their role in the reduction of credit underwriting standards (documented on page 66), it is then likely they would have made the essential mistake worse, because one thing government does not do well is admit mistakes, because they don't have to (unfortunately, no government agency has gone bankrupt).I would suggest that the US financial system was also insolvent in 1975,1981,1990, and that if you had to mark their books to market, (indeed we had new accounting, FAS 157 that tried to apply market prices to accounting during the crisis), this would basically cause massive dislocations. Why not increase bank capital rates from 4-8%, to 20+%? I don't see a consistent risk premium in financial markets, so the cost is rather low. That is, the market does not require a 6% return premium to bank equity, so one does not need that kind of leveraged return.Alas, most people will find Gorton a bit too dry, too many references, too much math (there are a handful of algebraic equations). Michael Lewis, in contrast, takes the Gladwellian approach to big problems, which is always well received. Indeed, I have seen him an on TV with several different interviewers discussing his latest book, The Big Short [I expect Russ Roberts at econtalk to interview him and totally agree, notwithstanding the 5 other authors with orthogonal diagnoses he also totally agreed with]. Lewis is considered an expert because he worked on Wall street for 2 years and wrote Liar's Poker, an insider's view of the bluster of rich young men. As anyone who has worked in an industry for a couple decades knows, after only 2 years in the business, the impressions of a kid right out of college, no matter how smart and eloquent the sojourner, are invariably quite naive. ... Ultimately Lewis blames everyone, but especially greedy bankers, and so in a banal sense he is correct.But Lewis will most assuredly sell more books than Gorton, part of the reason these crises are endogenous. Stephen Spruiell & Kevin Williamson offer some ideas on shadow banking reform:The really offensive thing about the bailouts was the prevailing sense of adhocracy — that Congress and the White House and the Treasury and the Fed were more or less making things up as they went along. This bank got rescued, that one didn’t. This firm got a bailout on generous terms, that one got the pillory.Before we can get our economy fully un-TARPed, un-Fannied, and un-Freddied, we need an FDIC-style resolution authority that can do for the shadow banking system what the FDIC does for banks: police safety and soundness and, when necessary, take troubled institutions into custody and disassemble them in an orderly manner.The institutions that make up the shadow banking system are a diverse and complicated lot: If traditional banking is a game of checkers, this is 3-D chess on dozens of boards at the same time. It is therefore likely that the regulators will lack the expertise to establish appropriate, timely resolution programs for the complex institutions they are expected to govern. The solution to that problem is found in Columbia finance professor Charles Calomiris’s proposal that every TBTFI — Too Big to Fail Institution — coming under the new agency’s jurisdiction be required to establish and maintain, in advance, its own resolution plan, which would be subject to regulatory approval.Such a plan — basically, a pre-packaged bankruptcy — would make public detailed information about the distribution of losses in the event of an institutional failure — in other words, who would take how much of a haircut if the bank or fund were to find itself in dire straits. This would be a substantial improvement on the political favor-jockeying that marked the government’s intervention in General Motors, for instance, or the political limbo that saw Lehman doing nothing to save itself while waiting to be rescued by a Washington bailout that never came. The authority’s main job would be to keep up with the resolution plans and, when necessary, to execute them.Taking a fresh regulatory approach would give us the opportunity to enact some useful reforms at the same time. At present, capital requirements — the amount of equity and other assets financial firms are required to hold in proportion to their lending — are static: X cents in capital for every $1 in, for example, regular mortgage loans. This makes them “pro-cyclical,” meaning that, during booms, banks suddenly find themselves awash in capital as their share prices and the value of their assets climb, with the effect that they can secure a lot more loans with the assets they already have on the books. But the requirements are pro-cyclical on the downside, too: During recessions, declining share and asset prices erode banks’ capital base, hamstringing their operations and making financial contractions even worse. Instead, we should use counter-cyclical capital requirements: During booms, the amount of capital required to back each dollar in lending should increase on a pre-defined schedule, helping to put the brake on financial bubbles and to tamp down irrational exuberance. During downturns, capital requirements should be loosened on a pre-defined schedule, to facilitate lending and to keep banks from going into capital crises for mere accounting reasons. But these counter-cyclical capital requirements should begin from a higher baseline: The shadow banking system exists, in no small part, to skirt traditional capital requirements, and its scanty capital cushions helped make the recent crisis much worse than it had to be.As always, the devil is in the details. Furthermore, the prepackaged bankruptcy features must be credible. Any framework that might work will require considerable thought and deliberation.As with some of the matters highlighted in earlier posts in this series, this is getting very little emphasis in the public arena.Returning to the contributing factors and events relevant to the panic, Reuven Brenner offers:Confusing the responsibilities of the private markets and the government leads to misguided policies. Some analysts draw the dangerously wrong conclusion that the crisis of 2008 simply was a failure of capitalism. Judge Richard Posner, for example, recently argued that “the key to understanding is that a capitalist economy, while immensely dynamic and productive, is not inherently stable.” Whether a capitalist economy is stable or not might be a worthwhile topic for abstract speculation. But the events of 2008 shed no light on it, since what they actually tell is the story of what happens when governments neglect their responsibilities.In a well-functioning market, the chances of all the players making the same mistake in the same direction is negligible. But systemic errors—errors in which a plurality of the players all err in the same direction—can and do occur when governments forget what makes a commercial society tick. This can occur suddenly, as in a communist revolution. Or it can occur imperceptibly over years, as during the past decade in the United States. Such governmental neglect of responsibilities prepared the ground for the present day, the worst American financial crisis since the Great Depression.The financial technology of the past decade created trillions of dollars’ worth of structured bonds—in effect, attempting to do a magic trick by turning the inherently uncertain cash flows of junk bonds into the predictable cash flows of high-grade debt. Subprime mortgages, for example, are a kind of junk bond. Households with insufficient incomes, and often without prospects of securing good ones in the future, were not just granted entry into the market but were also helped (actively, though indirectly, by the mortgage agencies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) to speculate in housing on an unprecedented scale.Home-mortgage debt relative to disposable personal income stood stable around 80 percent between 1957 and 2000 but jumped to 140 percent by 2007. The availability of adjustable-rate mortgages at very low interest rates prevailing in the early part of the decade allowed households to carry these much higher debt levels for a while. However, once the Federal Reserve raised the federal-funds rate from 0.5 percent in 2002 to 5.25 percent in 2007, households no longer could pay the higher debt burden. Meanwhile, financial institutions resold about 65 percent of the face value of the mortgages in the form of AAA-rated securities. This means that they sold the other 35 percent to investors who would absorb losses before any losses accrued to the AAA-rated securities.Individuals and firms thought money-market funds to be reliable substitutes for bank deposits: always available and invested heavily in structured securities as well as corporate commercial paper. Once it became clear that supposedly AAA-rated securities were in fact prone to default, money-market funds faced a run by fearful depositors, and the market for corporate commercial paper crashed as well.The collapse of the structured securities market in July 2007 led to the collapse of Bear Stearns in March 2008, the failure of the government-sponsored mortgage guarantors Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and eventually the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy in September 2008, followed by the bailout of the nation’s largest commercial banks and the reincarnation of the remaining investment banks and of GMAC as bank-like institutions, with access to funds from the Federal Reserve. Capital markets, as we knew them, shut down. And asset prices predictably then crashed. Too many mistakes, too much mispriced debt.When this happened, there was no alternative but for the government and the Federal Reserve to step in and become a financial intermediary. The intervention was needed because the mistakes suddenly exposed the fragility of the financial institutions’ funding mechanism. To restore it, the government had to insure the counterparty risks.Whatever the reasons, at first the government did not, and it allowed Lehman Brothers to fail. Then the government suddenly did: Correcting this blunder of letting the edifice of counterparty claims collapse led then to the dramatic expansion of the Federal Reserve balance sheet and the Treasury’s bailing out the banks.In truth, the government had no choice: Depositors had to be convinced that they were secure. Otherwise, the government would have failed in its responsibility of providing the default-free assets that are the foundation of commercial banking. We would have had a massive run on the system, and the vanishing liquidity would have been much worse than what we experienced. By guaranteeing bank deposits as well as a great deal of bank debt, and by purchasing more than a trillion dollars’ worth of securities, the government prevented a collapse of the financial system. That was not a matter of ideology or politics but of necessity.The spending and managing powers of the government have limits. If the government abuses its financial power to buy political support and does not restore the eroded responsibilities, it will eventually fail in its function of providing default-free assets. Without such assets, a commercial society cannot exist, no matter what the constitution of the country says. The words would lose their meaning, and the traditional institutions would be much weakened, becoming a mere façade.Anyone longing for days gone by in the world of banking should be aware:Consider the savings-and-loan (S&L) debacle of the 1980’s. The crisis, which erupted only two decades ago but seems all but forgotten, was almost entirely the result of a failure of government to regulate effectively. And that was by design. Members of Congress put the protection of their political friends ahead of the interests of the financial system as a whole. After the disaster of the Great Depression, three types of banks still survived—artifacts of the Democratic party’s Jacksonian antipathy to powerful banks. Commercial banks offered depositors both checking and savings accounts, and made mostly commercial loans. Savings banks offered only savings accounts and specialized in commercial real-estate loans. Savings-and-loan associations (“thrifts”) also offered only savings accounts; their loan portfolios were almost entirely in mortgages for single-family homes. All this amounted, in effect, to a federally mandated cartel, coddling those already in the banking business and allowing very few new entrants. Between 1945 and 1965, the number of S&L’s remained nearly constant at about 8,000, even as their assets grew more than tenfold from almost $9 billion to over $110 billion. This had something to do with the fact that the rate of interest paid on savings accounts was set by federal law at .25 percent higher than that paid by commercial banks, in order to compensate for the inability of savings banks and S&L’s to offer checking accounts. Savings banks and S&L’s were often called “3-6-3” institutions because they paid 3 percent on deposits, charged 6 percent on loans, and management hit the golf course at 3:00 p.m. on the dot. These small banks were very well connected. As Democratic Senator David Pryor of Arkansas once explained: You got to remember that each community has a savings-and-loan; some have two; some have four, and each of them has seven or eight board members. They own the Chevy dealership and the shoe store. And when we saw these people, we said, gosh, these are the people who are building the homes for people, these are the people who represent a dream that has worked in this country. They were also, of course, the sorts of people whose support politicians most wanted to have—people who donated campaign money and had significant political influence in their localities. The banking situation remained stable in the two decades after World War II as the Federal Reserve was able to keep interest rates steady and inflation low. But when Lyndon Johnson tried to fund both guns (the Vietnam war) and butter (the Great Society), the cartel began to break down. If the government’s first priority had been the integrity of the banking system and the safety of deposits, the weakest banks would have been forced to merge with larger, sounder institutions. Most solvent savings banks and S&L’s would then have been transmuted into commercial banks, which were required to have larger amounts of capital and reserves. And some did transmute themselves on their own. But by 1980 there were still well over 4,500 S&L’s in operation, relics of an earlier time.Why was the integrity of the banking system not the first priority? Part of the reason lay in the highly fragmented nature of the federal regulatory bureaucracy. A host of agencies—including the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the FSLIC, state banking authorities, and the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB)—oversaw the various forms of banks. Each of these agencies was more dedicated to protecting its own turf than to protecting the banking system as a whole. Adding to the turmoil was the inflation that took off in the late 1960’s. When the low interest rates that banks were permitted to pay failed to keep pace with inflation, depositors started to look elsewhere for a higher return. Many turned to money-market funds, which were regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission rather than by the various banking authorities and were not restricted in the rate of interest they could pay. Money began to flow out of savings accounts and into these new funds, in a process known to banking specialists by the sonorous term “disintermediation.”There is much more banking and financial history in that article. The key point is that prior financial arrangements were abandoned not for ideological reasons but because they were no longer tenable.Just to reiterate the point:There is a widespread but erroneous belief that the financial crisis has its origins in deregulation dating all the way back to the late 1970s. Therefore any steps to restore the pre-Reagan regulatory system are to be welcomed. This is really bad financial history. ... in the more controlled capital markets of the 1970s, borrowers generally paid more for their loans because there was less competition. Lousy managements were protected from corporate raiders. Savers earned negative real interest rates because of high inflation. Deregulation—such as lifting restrictions on the interest rates banks could pay and charge—and financial innovation delivered real benefits for the U.S. economy in the 1980s and '90s. One last point. Once asset markets like this experience a pricing blackout, conventional attempts to help the economy with any kind of fiscal stimulus are worthless. Visibility, transparency and activity must be restored to those asset markets for the economy to recover. Asset markets are an order of magnitude greater in value compared to annual economic output. So far corporate bond market issuance has recovered nicely. Other areas have shown partial recovery and some very little even with help from available Fed lending facilities. Things are getting better, but there is a long way to go. Of course a war on wealth creation won't help.
You've probably heard about the role of the credit rating agencies in the GR, in an interview with Steve Horwitz:FMM: Returning to “The Great Recession,” it is interesting that you, essentially, charge the SEC with creating adverse information problems in securities markets. “In the late 1960s, after some investment scandals, the SEC created a cartel by authorizing only a limited number of these agencies to be officially-designated raters. With that government-created cartel in place, the agencies slowly shifted from serving investors to serving the issuers of bonds.”Can you elaborate on the nature of the SEC-created cartel and in what ways it is serving the issuers of bonds rather than the investors? SH: The SEC authorized those agencies to have privileged status in the wake of some financial problems in the late 60s and early 70s. The thinking, I guess, was to more closely oversee the officially approved firms. The SEC then said that banks could only hold fancy securities rated by one of these three agencies. Once that happened, the big shift occurs. Before that, the agencies served the buyers by, like Consumer Reports, giving them information and ratings about the instruments. But once their approval was needed in order for the securities to be marketed, the sellers started going to them to get the ratings they wanted. The raters then had an incentive to provide good ratings so as to not lose the business to their other two co-cartelists. They also then had reason to eliminate the costs of inter-firm competition by coming to more agreement on how to do things. The results, as you can see, were not pretty.In the absence of free entry into this market, there was no way to correct the mistakes of the cartelists. There was no Hayekian learning process in place.We read in The Sellout:At the same time, government-anointed credit raters were assigning triple-A ratings to mortgage-backed securities that in no way deserved them. The Federal Reserve's so-called Basel capital standards gave banks more credit for owning mortgage-backed securities than many other assets, and in 2004 the SEC applied those standards to investment banks, with dramatic results. In 2003, Lehman Brothers held roughly equal amounts of U.S. Treasury bonds and mortgage- and other asset-backed securities. By 2006 the firm's Treasury holdings had barely budged while its mortgage- and asset-backed holdings had almost tripled. Meanwhile, the Fed's easy money policies of the early 2000s subsidized credit and sent the banks looking for higher yields. Mortgage bonds offered high returns and the "safety" of AAA ratings.As credit spreads began to widen in 2007 and then continued to widen in 2008 it was clear that distress was increasing in the financial system. It wasn't that difficult to understand how investment banks heavily involved in mortgage backed securities were having problems. What didn't make sense was the level of distress I was hearing about at many regular commercial banks. The role of the little known but rather significant recourse rule is explained at some length here: (and in a more limited version here)There is little evidence that deregulation or banks' compensation practices caused the financial crisis. What did seem to cause it were capital regulations imposed on banks across the world. These regulations explain why bankers who are commonly seen as having recklessly bought risky mortgage-backed bonds in order to boost earnings--and bonuses--actually bought the least-risky, least-lucrative bonds available: those that were guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac or were rated AAA. These securities were decisively favored by capital regulations, raising the question of whether regulation actually increases systemic risk. By definition, regulations aim to homogenize the otherwise heterogeneous behavior of competing enterprises. Since one set of regulations has the force of law, it homogenizes the entire economy in that jurisdiction. But regulators are fallible, and if their ideas turn out to be wrong--as they appear to have been in the case of capital regulations--the entire system is put at risk....why did the bursting of the housing bubble cause a financial crisis, that is, a banking crisis?This might not seem so puzzling at first: commercial banks made many of the mortgage loans that were financed by the Federal Reserve's low interest rates. But the financial crisis was not caused by mortgage defaults directly: it was caused by a sharp drop, in September 2008, in the market price of mortgage-backed bonds, in anticipation of their declining value as the bubble deflated. The first victims of the falling price of mortgage-backed bonds were Fannie and Freddie; in quick succession came the investment bank Lehman Brothers; and finally came the commercial banks--because they held so many mortgage-backed bonds, not mortgages. The question, then, is why the commercial banks held so many mortgage-backed bonds. If deregulation or the quest for high earnings, hence high compensation, did not cause the banks to buy these bonds, what did?To answer this question, we have to turn in a direction that has been overlooked by the conventional wisdom: an obscure regulation called the recourse rule. The recourse rule was enacted by the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Office of Thrift Supervision in 2001.[14] It was an amendment to the international Basel Accords governing banks' capital holdings, and all over the world, these regulations appear to have contributed significantly both to the housing boom and to the financial crisis.But under the recourse rule, "well-capitalized" American commercial banks were required to spend 80 percent more capital on commercial loans, 80 percent more capital on corporate bonds, and 60 percent more capital on individual mortgages than they had to spend on asset-backed securities, including mortgage-backed bonds, as long as these bonds were rated AA or AAA or were issued by a government-sponsored enterprise (GSE), such as Fannie or Freddie. Specifically, $2 in capital was required for every $100 in mortgage-backed bonds, compared to $5 for the same amount in mortgage loans and $10 for the same amount in commercial loans.One can readily see that the recourse rule was designed to steer banks' funds into "safe" assets, such as AAA mortgage-backed bonds. The fact that 93 percent of the banks' mortgage-backed securities were either AAA rated or were issued by a GSE shows that this is exactly what the rule accomplished.[16] Unfortunately, these bonds turned out not to be so safe. Without the recourse rule, however, there is no reason for portfolios of American banks to have been so heavily concentrated in mortgage-backed bonds.The recourse rule did not apply outside the United States, but the first set of Basel accords on bank capital, adopted in 1988,[19] included provisions for even more profitable forms of "capital arbitrage" through off-balance-sheet entities such as structured investment vehicles (SIVs), which were used extensively in Europe. Moreover, in 2006, a second set of bank-capital accords, "Basel II," began to be implemented outside the United States. Basel II took essentially the same approach as the recourse rule, encouraging foreign banks to acquire mortgage-backed securities, just as in the United States.[20] Here, then, we may have the genesis of the global financial crisis. If so, it turns out to have been caused by the very device--regulation--to which most people now, as they did throughout the twentieth century, look for the "reform" of capitalism. But is it really capitalism when it is so heavily regulated? In a complex world like ours, nobody really knows what will succeed until it is tried. Competition, which pits entrepreneurs' divergent ideas against each other, is the only way to test these ideas through anything but the highly unreliable process of verbal debate (in which the debaters' competing ideas cannot be simultaneously tested against each other in the real world, instead of in the imaginations of their audience).Capitalism will probably always be prone to asset bubbles and other manifestations of homogeneous behavior, but only because it is part of human nature for people to go along with the crowd. This is a risk that can be mitigated but not eliminated. But capitalism has a unique feature, competition, that does mitigate it by both encouraging and taking advantage of heterogeneous behavior, that is, innovation.Homogeneity, on the other hand, is the ineradicable curse of socialism, in which the community as a whole, through its elected (or self-appointed) representatives, decides on the allocation of resources. One plan is imposed on all, as thoroughly as if everyone spontaneously decided to join a herd.[22] And we maintain that homogeneity is also the problem with regulation. Regulations, by their very nature, align the behavior of those being regulated with the ideas of those doing the regulating. Regulations are like mandatory instructions for herd behavior, automatically increasing systemic risk. The recourse rule, Basel I, and Basel II loaded the dice in favor of the regulators' ideas about prudent banking. These regulations imposed a new profitability gradient over all bankers' risk/return calculations, conferring 80 percent capital relief on banks that bought GSE-issued or highly rated mortgage-backed bonds rather than commercial loans or corporate bonds, and 60 percent relief for banks that traded their individual mortgages for those "safe" mortgage-backed bonds. Only bankers with the most extreme perceptions of the downside, such as JP Morgan's Jamie Dimon, escaped unharmed.Bank-capital regulations inadvertently made the banking system more vulnerable to the regulators' errors. But this is what all regulations do. Whether by forbidding one activity or encouraging a different one, the whole point of regulation is, after all, to change the behavior of those being regulated. And the direction of change is, obviously, the one the regulators think is wise.The whole system crashed when the financial regulators' ideas about prudent banking backfired, but such failures are inevitable unless modern societies are so ¬simple that the solutions to social and economic problems will be self-evident to a generalist voter, or even a specialist regulator. That modern societies really are that simple is, in truth, the hidden assumption of modern politics. This is why political conflicts get so ugly: neither side can understand why their adversaries oppose what "self-evidently" should be done, so both sides ascribe evil motives to each other. But the financial crisis has exposed this simplistic view of the world for what it is. In the wake of the crisis, nobody can plausibly deny anymore that modern societies are bafflingly complex. The solutions to social and economic problems are thereby unlikely to be self-evident. The theories that seem so obviously true to voters or regulators may turn out to be disastrously false--unless regulators or citizens are infallible.That surely would be magical. But there is no more magic to politics than there is to markets. The question raised by the ongoing intellectual contest between socialism and capitalism, and the ongoing practical battle between regulation and competition, is how best to guard against human frailties: By putting all our eggs in one politically decided basket? Or by spreading our bets through the only practical means available: competition?The complicated interaction of all of the pieces of the puzzle are discussed further in a podcast with Charles Calomiris (notes available but no transcript). Jeffrey Friedman co-author of the article linked to above, offers a briefer version with some slightly different points in A Perfect Storm of Ignorance.Economist Brian Wesbury informs us of the significant problem of MTM here:In November 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) reinstated mark-to-market accounting for the first time since 1938. This rule uses bids (exit prices) to value assets. So far, so good. However, in 2008, the market for asset-backed securities dried up. The prices of bonds that were still paying in full fell by 60 or 70 percent, and these losses often were driven through income statements. This wiped out regulatory capital, caused bankruptcies, and created a vicious downward spiral in the economy.In retrospect, it is clear that this accounting rule was a potent pro-cyclical force behind the 2008 panic.Finally, on April 2, 2009, the FASB allowed banks to use “cash flow” to value bonds when the markets are illiquid — the same sentiment that Bernanke expressed before Congress. This fixed the immediate problems in the system, and the economy and financial markets have been on the mend ever since. In fact, the stock market bottom of March 9, 2009, came on the very day news broke that Reps. Barney Frank and Paul Kanjorski would hold a hearing to force the FASB to change the misguided accounting policy.Mark-to-market accounting does not solve problems; it creates them by acting as a pro-cyclical force. Milton Friedman understood this, and he wrote about the devastating link between mark-to-market accounting and the Great Depression bank failures. Franklin Delano Roosevelt finally figured this out in 1938 — he suspended the rule and the Depression ended soon thereafter. Coincidence? We think not.But as long as bank regulators still impose mark-to-market-style rules — indeed, as long as such rules remain even a threat to the system — the system will not fully heal.More on the role of mark-to-market accounting in Bob McTeer's post here and Bill Isaac's testimony linked to within is worth a read:I use the term “mark to market accounting,” rather than “fair value accounting.” Everyone’s goal is a fair and descriptive accounting system. There is nothing “fair” about the misleading and destructive accounting regime promoted by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Accounting Standards Board under the rubric “fair value accounting.” MTM accounting has destroyed well over $500 billion of capital in our financialsystem. Because banks are able to lend up to ten times their capital, MTM accounting has also destroyed over $5 trillion of lending capacity, contributing significantly to a severe credit contraction and an economic downturn that has cost millions of jobs and wiped out vast amounts of retirement savings on which millions of people were counting. ...we believed that MTM accounting would make it very difficult for banks to perform their fundamental function in our economy, which is to convert relatively short-term money from depositors into longer-term loans for businesses and consumers. Banks necessarily have some mismatch in the maturities of their assets and liabilities – it is up to bank management, regulators, and investors to make sure the mismatch is not excessive. Accounting rules made to influence behavior are no substitute for good judgment and can interfere with appropriate business conduct. ...we felt that MTM accounting would be pro-cyclical (which is never a good thing in bank regulation) and would make it very difficult for regulators to manage future banking crises. The accounting profession, scarred by decades of costly litigation, keeps forcing banks to mark down the assets as fast and far as possible. This is contrary to everything we know about bank regulation. When there are temporary impairments of asset values due to economic and marketplace turmoil, regulators must give institutions an opportunity to survive the temporary impairment. Permanent impairments should be recognized, but assets should not be marked to unrealistic fire-sale prices. Regulators must evaluate the assets on the basis of their true economic value over a reasonable time horizon. The current world-wide crisis in the financial system demonstrates conclusively that major principles of accounting are much too important to be left solely to accountants. It is extremely important that bank regulation be counter-cyclical, not pro-cyclical. The time for banks to create reserves for losses is when the sun is shining, not in the middle of a hurricane.Having trading entities such as proprietary trading desks or hedge funds mark-to-market may be appropriate. Requiring lending institutions which hold assets with a longer term orientation to do so is simply asking for financial instability.Peter Wallison has some thoughts on deregulation here:There has been a great deal of deregulation in our economy over the last 30 years, but none of it has been in the financial sector or has had anything to do with the current crisis. Almost all financial legislation, such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Improvement Act of 1991, adopted after the savings and loan collapse in the late 1980s, significantly tightened the regulation of banks.The repeal of portions of the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999--often cited by people who know nothing about that law--has no relevance whatsoever to the financial crisis, with one major exception: it permitted banks to be affiliated with firms that underwrite securities, and thus allowed Bank of America Corp. to acquire Merrill Lynch & Co. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. to buy Bear Stearns Cos. Both transactions saved the government the costs of a rescue and spared the market substantial additional turmoil.None of the investment banks that got into financial trouble, specifically Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs Group Inc., were affiliated with commercial banks, and none were affected in any way by the repeal of Glass-Steagall.In a more extensive article here he concludes:The causes of the financial crisis remain a mystery for many people, but certain causes can apparently be excluded. The repeal of Glass-Steagall by GLBA is certainly one of these, since Glass-Steagall, as applied to banks, remains fully in effect. In addition, the fact that a major CDS player like Lehman Brothers could fail without any serious disturbance of the CDS market, any serious losses to its counterparties, or any serious losses to those firms that had guaranteed Lehman's own obligations, suggests that CDS are far less dangerous to the financial system than they are made out to be. Finally, efforts to blame the huge number of subprime and Alt-A mortgages in our economy on unregulated mortgage brokers must fail when it becomes clear that the dominant role in creating the demand--and supplying the funds--for these deficient loans was the federal government.If you don't know about the recourse rule, the Basel Accords and mark-to-market accounting rules at a minimum, you can't begin to understand the regulatory failure which gave us the Great Recession.see also The Myth of Financial Deregulation Posted by

I was doing a quick scan of posts and news and saw some quoted material to which my reaction was, "What bunch of violent hooligans wrote that?" Here are some of the quotes:"Unfortunately, nothing will preserve [liberty] but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.”“Liberty must at all hazards be supported. We have a right to it, derived from our Maker. But if we had not, our fathers have earned and bought it for us, at the expense of their ease, their estates, their pleasure, and their blood.”"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."Force and Blood! Yeesh!Upon closer inspection, the quotes were from Patrick Henry, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson in an article by Bill Whittle.The founding fathers of the United States were brilliant and innovative, but they certainly didn't shy away from violence, did they?
Many factors contributed to the Great Recession: unchecked GSEs(Fannie and Freddie), monetary policy in a few ways, moral hazard in several ways on several levels, regulatory problems - not so much deregulation but poorly conceived changes and failure to deal with a changing financial environment and innovations as well as assorted lesser factors.The general key point is captured here:Our point isn't that bankers didn't make stupendous blunders. It is that the roots of the mania and panic are so much larger than any single financial security, compensation practice or regulation. And those roots are found as much in Washington as on Wall Street. Start with the Federal Reserve, which for years kept interest rates below the rate of inflation and thus created a global subsidy for credit. Bankers and investors had an incentive to sell and take on more debt. A Journal survey of economists this week found that a majority now think Fed policy was a major culprit. Providing a rare source of wisdom at yesterday's hearing was FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair, who explained how the Fed's monetary policy helped inflate the housing bubble. If the commissioners are looking for historical guidance, they might consult the late Charles Kindleberger's classic, "Manias, Panics, and Crashes: A History of Financial Crises." On page 10 of the Fifth Edition paperback, the good professor declares that "The thesis of this book is that the cycle of manias and panics results from the pro-cyclical changes in the supply of credit." (Our emphasis.) An inquiry that ignores the sources of credit that fed the mania is like a history of the Civil War that ignores slavery. Also missing this week was anyone from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the mortgage giants that turbocharged the housing boom. With their implicit taxpayer backing, Fan and Fred held or guaranteed more subprime and Alt-A loans than anyone—much more than the combined holdings of the four bankers represented this week. So long as Fan and Fred kept increasing mortgages to low-income borrowers, the dynamic duo's political protectors kept fighting off efforts to cap the size of Fan and Fred's mortgage portfolios. The pair would ultimately hold or guarantee mortgages amounting to more than $5 trillion. That sum is greater than the annual GDP of Japan, the world's third largest economy, and yes, a whole lot bigger than the balance sheet of Goldman Sachs. A serious inquiry will examine the business practices of Fan and Fred, the long battle to rein them in, and the Members of Congress who blocked reform.There is more of an overview here and a rebutting of blame on EMH:But is the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) really responsible for the current crisis? The answer is no. The EMH, originally put forth by Eugene Fama of the University of Chicago in the 1960s, states that the prices of securities reflect all known information that impacts their value. The hypothesis does not claim that the market price is always right. On the contrary, it implies that the prices in the market are mostly wrong, but at any given moment it is not at all easy to say whether they are too high or too low. The fact that the best and brightest on Wall Street made so many mistakes shows how hard it is to beat the market.This does not mean the EMH can be used as an excuse by the CEOs of the failed financial firms or by the regulators who did not see the risks that subprime mortgage-backed securities posed to the financial stability of the economy. Regulators wrongly believed that financial firms were offsetting their credit risks, while the banks and credit rating agencies were fooled by faulty models that underestimated the risk in real estate.From 2000 through 2006, national home prices rose by 88.7%, far more than the 17.5% gain in the consumer price index or the paltry 1% rise in median household income. Never before have home prices jumped that far ahead of prices and incomes. This should have sent up red flags and cast doubts on using models that looked only at historical declines to judge future risk. But these flags were ignored as Wall Street was reaping large profits bundling and selling the securities while Congress was happy that more Americans could enjoy the "American Dream" of home ownership. Indeed, through government-sponsored enterprises such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Washington helped fuel the subprime boom.Our crisis wasn't due to blind faith in the Efficient Market Hypothesis. The fact that risk premiums were low does not mean they were nonexistent and that market prices were right. Despite the recent recession, the Great Moderation is real and our economy is inherently more stable. But this does not mean that risks have disappeared. To use an analogy, the fact that automobiles today are safer than they were years ago does not mean that you can drive at 120 mph. A small bump on the road, perhaps insignificant at lower speeds, will easily flip the best-engineered car. Our financial firms drove too fast, our central bank failed to stop them, and the housing deflation crashed the banks and the economy.Important lessons were ignored as relayed in a conversation with Vernon Smith:Money is a problem both in the world and in the asset trading markets in the laboratory.So the laboratory results make it very clear that it’s cash flopping around in the system that tends to give you these runaway asset market bubbles.I think of the housing bubble as the asset bubble that blindsided the economy. If you look at bubbles in stock markets they do not cause general problems in the economy. We had the dot com stock bubble that ran all through the nineties and peeked out in 2000 and crashed and you had about 10 trillion dollars loss in asset market value as a result of that stock market bubble and it had a minor affect, small affect on the banking system and the economy generally. On the other hand, if you look at 2007 when we lost about three trillion dollars in value in the housing market it devastated the banking system and the reason for this is really I think quite clear.And so what that means is that bubbles in the stock market if there is a problem the problem is borne by the investors in the market. On the other hand if you have people buying houses with very low or zero down payments and the prices of homes starts to decline right away those homes, those loans that the banks have made are underwater, the banks start then to get into trouble. They have a balance sheet problem and as soon as the banks are in trouble it puts all kinds of people into difficulty that may have had nothing to do or they may not have had anything to do with what was going on in the stock market. So if the banks are under pressure and not making loans all sorts of people may be hurt and they may not even be homeowners. They rent and they haven’t been contributing to the problems, but they nevertheless may suffer. So there is a big difference here between asset market bubbles where people are required to collateralize all of their borrowing and cases as in the housing market where they’re inadequately collateralized and so there is no cushion, no nothing to protect sort of the systemic risk in the banking system if those asset prices decline.I don’t think there is anything you can do to prevent bubbles. I think we’ve had frequent stock market bubbles that have self corrected and the burden of those bubbles and the pain is basically borne by the investors in those markets and you do not have collateral damage to the economy from bubbles in stock markets like you have in bubbles with housing and generally with consumer durables and I think the solution in the housing and the consumer durables markets is the same as the solution that we’ve worked out institutionally in stock markets and that is require these purchases to be reserved, collateralized.We learned all about amortizing loans. We learned about having 25 or 30% down payments for homes. We learned that in the 1920s and 1930s because if you go back to the 1920s there were lots of bank loans being made. The state banks were making loans on real estate that were interest only loans. They tended to be short term loans, three and four years. You paid only the interest and then when they came due you rolled them over and that turned out to be part of the difficulties, certainly not all of them. A lot of them the problems in the twenties were not only credit financing of home sales, but all sorts of consumer durables. You had for the first time in the twenties the development of buy now pay later for all sorts of durables like furniture and automobiles and that credit binge in the twenties was an important part of the collapse that took place in 1929 and 1930. And one of the things that you saw in the 1930s was the disappearance of the unamortized housing loan. If you compare for example 1928 and 1938 mortgage loans by banks. In 1938 they’re amortized and in 1928 many, half of them were not amortized, so there is an example where we had institutional learning, but somehow that memory faded. We forgot that lesson in the case of the housing markets and that’s what gave us a recurrence you see of a lot of the same conditions of the 1920s and ’30s. We’ve seen repeat of that from about 1997 to 2006 was the boom period in the housing market and then the collapse since then. And you know we have kind of a nice controlled experiment in one of the states. I don’t think it’s generally realized that Texas law (and this law dates back I think to about 2001 or 2) prohibits lending, making unamortized loans on a home. They prohibit balloon payments. There is a provision requiring that whatever the payment and loan stream conditions are the principle has to rise. That is as you pay of a loan you more and more of the money is going in to reduce the amount of the loan and what is interesting is that when if you look at the Case-Shiller Housing Index and how it blossomed up from 2000 to 2006. It was rising 75 or 80%. In Texas prices only rose 30 percent. And so it’s clear that this Texas law made a substantial difference there and it seems to me those are very reasonable kind of property type regulations in which you say that people don’t have a right to buy homes without putting up some, a reasonable cash down payment and that the loan be amortized. And so that’s not a heavy handed regulation. It’s a very reasonable benign type of regulation: give people rights to take action that are consistent with sustainability and stability. Well the evidence that the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Open Market Committee and Bernanke did not anticipate the kind of trouble we were in is indicated by looking at the difference between the press release they put out in August 7, 2007 and the one three days later on August 10th. On August 7th they were reiterating that they would hold the federal funds rates steady and I think at that time it was five and a quarter percent and that they still anticipated the possibility of inflation and then three days later the press release points out that a number of financial markets are likely to experience considerable stress. And well, tell me about it. The mortgage market had completely collapsed and it was the derivatives market that was the tipoff. And its collapse was the first indication that the whole mortgage market was in serious trouble and no one has I think better expert econometric and economic analysis than the Federal Reserve, but it doesn’t mean that they can predict was is not predictable and so it’s clear that the experts were surprised and blindsided by that development, but I think it’s to Bernanke’s credit that he moved in what seemed to be a pretty decisive way at that time to dramatically enhance the liquidity of the banking system.The problem is that what was happening I think in the mortgage market indicated that what the banks faced was a solvency problem, not just a liquidity problem. Now sometimes of course it’s hard to tell the difference. You have a solvency problem you see if the fundamental value of your assets are less than the value of your obligations that’s different from a liquidity problem in the sense that you just have a short term need for funds and of course you can have if you have a short term need for funds and a lack of liquidity that can cause distress sales and create a solvency problem, but and I think that’s the way that Bernanke saw the situation he was in, in August 2007 and it’s also I think pretty much how he saw the developments in the early thirties, in the early part of the Great Depression that the Federal Reserve System had simply not supplied sufficient liquidity to keep the system from creating an insolvency problem. I don’t really agree with this. I think in both cases that both in 1930 there is evidence that the banks had a solvency problem because of the loans that had been extended on residential and also commercial properties and those prices had started to, had come down and in fact that had been developing for already for three or four years in the late 1920s just as it had been developing, the defaults were starting to move up in our economy already by 2005, 6 and 7. It started to become then critical in 2007. A lot of the knowledge in the economy is this kind of can do practical knowledge learned by practice and the same thing is true at the level of experts and formulating central bank policy. It’s a matter of practice and you can have a good understanding of say the 1930s about what happened then, but it doesn’t mean that when you’re in the middle of a storm you will recognize that it’s happening around you because it’s just a different kind of understanding based upon practice and not necessarily the kind of academic analysis and knowledge that we get through econometric analysis and studies. And I think that’s basically a problem, and it means that you shouldn’t have too high expectations as to what the ability of our experts to deliver is. They’re going to be fallible and what we’ve seen I think and throughout this crisis is both in the Federal Reserve and also in the U.S. Treasury and other agencies of government you’ve had people learning as they go and a lot of the policies are being made up as they go. And that’s I think and inevitable consequence of the imperfection of our knowledge and the limits of our ability to practically manage complex systems like the U.S. economy.Various devices were used to encourage private lenders to more aggressively make loans on homes to be purchased by people of modest income and what we got from that was a particularly strong demand for homes at the low end of the pricing tier. If you look at the Case-Shiller Housing Index and if you divide that index into three tiers, the low price tier, the middle price tier and the high price tier from 2000 to 2006 the prices that went up the most were the low price tier. The low price tier of homes rose the most, the greatest percentage and fell by the greatest percentage after the collapse and so those policies didn’t actually help those people in the sense that it ended up in many ways we hurt the people we most had a most heartfelt desire to help and the middle price tier homes rose less rapidly than the low and the higher priced tiers rose the least. So the impact of the housing bubble was felt disproportionately in the lower income buyers of homes, so I think I would begin not with any notion that we need a radical reexamination of the regulatory framework, but just introduce some of the institutional learning that we’ve already achieved and let that institutional learning stand and not interfere with it.Compare the path of a US home price index with the path of a Canadian home price index see here . A less radical undermining of lending standards requiring meaningful down payments matters.
It's been fun!For those of us in San Diego, earthquakes are sort of like virtual reality motion simulator rides - except for the "virtual" and "simulator" parts. They're not strong enough to cause any damage or injury or even be particularly scary.The big fault line that runs through Los Angeles splits about 60 miles north of here and goes around San Diego, both to the East and West. The latest earthquakes were on the Eastern (and larger) fork of the fault, about 110 miles from San Diego, in a very sparsely populated area of the Mexican and California deserts.I'm on vacation for the next little bit, so blogging and commenting will be sporadic. | [

Kill kill kill – we are a country that LOVES killing.
Not only do we begin this country by just killing almost all the people who lived here and continue to kill any people - mostly Black and brown - whose lives, lands, resources we want, we also kill the animals, the birds, the fish, the wildlife, the insects.
And now we’re killing the air, the water, the soil – everything necessary to sustain all life on this planet.

Houston Daily Photo: July 2011
This is the recently opened Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart. The main stained glass window is a beacon to those that pass during weekend evenings. While spiritual in nature, it also reminds me I need to start working out again as it seems Christ is in very good shape.
One of five municipal golf courses, the Jim Mozola Memorial Disc Golf Course is located within Buffalo Bayou Park and offers great views of the Houston skyline.So it’s got that going for it…Which is nice.
...and boy do they mean it.This is the end of the Heights Bike Trail that ends near the County Jail at McKee St.
It’s Always Time to Play
…or so says this P.O.D.A. Project.The Portable On Demand Art Project is a temporary public art exhibit featuring several local artists transforming a PODS® container into a piece of public art.This one is located on the grounds of the Baker-Ripley Campus of Neighborhood Centers Inc
From the fingers of babes... comes this wonderful piece.Abstract? Expressionism? You tell me.
Van Vranken’s “Flame” was commissioned in 1991 to honor the patients and employees of the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and commerate the center’s Golden Jubilee, offering a symbol of knowledge, achievement and hope for the future.
Red means stop!These traffic lights along Main Street have the extra red trim, perhaps making sure no one ventures onto the tracks of our light rail system.
I fell for itThis is a lost purse, but rather a sculpture by Dixie Friend Gay titled "Treasures from Grandma's Purse" located at the Waterway Fountains in the Woodlands.Very clever.
It's One O'Clock Somewhere...
Well... at least according to the sundial in front of the Museum of Natural Science it is.Well... actually it was two o'clock, but someone forgot to inform the sun about Daylight Savings Time.
The Alley Theater houses one of the four performance venues in the Downtown Theater District and has been the home to the Alley theater company since it opened in 1968. Within the walls of this Brutalist styled building are two stages that provide an intimate setting to enjoy various theatrical productions.While some view its fortress-like appearance as unphotogenic, I quite like the different angles and shapes… but that’s just me.
The sound of flowing water makes things seem less stressful, which, I suppose, was the idea of the designers that added this water treatment between the buildings of Allen Center downtown.
Playfully referred to as the “Love Boat”, the George R Brown Convention Center does strike a very unique public profile. Opened in 1987 its 1.8 MILLION square feet of multi-use floor space ranks it as one of the ten largest convention centers in the country.
Seems to be if you believe this quick snap of some street art along the Washington corridor.
Would You Please Pick Me Up Some...
This isn't your average grocery list, but rather a monument to the goods that arrived at the original Port of Houston. Captured on the banks of Buffalo Bayou in the park that honors Allen's Landing.
This seemingly ambiguous building is probably the most secure structure in Houston, the Federal Reserve Bank. Posted by
All that remains of the Bethel Baptist Church, originally built in 1923, is a hollowed out shell, the victim of a fire in January of 2005. Purchased by the city in 2009, the plans are to eventually preserve the façade and turn the city block into an enclosed green space for public use while keeping the church’s historic presence.
This large oak is actually screening the view of the Menil Collection building behind it.As the temperatures soar... shade becomes more my friend.Except for air conditioning.
The Gus Wortham Memorial Fountain, obviously often referred to as “the dandelion fountain”, is a visual mainstay as one drives along Allen Parkway near Waugh Drive. Completed in 1978 it is located near a popular jogging/bike trail and the wind blown mist is a welcome relief to those that happen by.Not to mention the occasional rainbow.
Several “statement” pieces have popped up throughout the First Ward waxing philosophic of the slow gentrification of the area. Neighborhoods change, sometimes for the better, sometimes not so much.This work is from the Mission Year Arts Team, a group of people who have moved into this urban district from other parts of the country with the hopes of bettering the area. The group DOES make a difference, but somehow this seems out of character from their mission statement.If it were me? I might have gone with a “Remember Goliad” theme… but maybe that’s a Texas thing.
With some of the historic buildings of downtown as its backdrop, the recently refurbished Market Square now offers an excellent respite to enjoy being outdoors in the downtown area.It it weren't so darn HOT.
This somewhat colorful, although eerie, wall is located in the back courtyard of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in the city’s Sixth Ward. It was a project of MECA, a community based organization that develops underserved youths and adults through the arts giving them an outlet to express themselves creatively through artistic inclinations.
The Houston Armillary Sphere was donated to the City of Houston by Elizabeth Bracewell and sits in Sam Houston Park.
The Fred Hartman Bridge spans the Houston Ship Channel just east of town. The longest cable-stayed bridge in Texas at 2.6 miles, it replaced the Baytown Tunnel when the ship channel was dredged to allow for bigger ships in 1995.
This is how the work day leaves me.A clever use of small mirrored pieces and a bit of wheatpaste.
This car dealership shows its patriotism throughout the year, not just on today’s national holiday celebrated our country’s independence.Happy Fourth of July everyone.
Another visit to Texas Art Asylum, a cool little shop that collects hundreds of seemingly forgotten items to be used by crafty people for creative uses. I really dig this place.I just wish I was crafty.
The Astros were in the World Series and at the top of the baseball world.Today? Not so much, as they are officially the worst team in Major League Baseball, but they are still the team I follow. Maybe one day... they'll be back at the top of the standings.
This house is located near the intersection of Tuscon and Linder Streets in the city’s Fifth Ward, and obviously is a true testament of the owner’s beliefs. You really have to admire their dedication. Posted by | [

Several old globular clusters contain younger stars, as determined by observations of the __________ of these stars.
(A) pulsation periods.
(B) brightnesses and colors.
(D) chemical composition.
(E) distances and motions.
An example of this is the diffraction of light through the circular aperture of a telescope with a diameter a (although the more correct equation in this case would be Wsinθ = (1.22)(1)λ). This is the Whirlpool Galaxy M51 as seen by the NASA Spitzer Space Telescope and the European Space Agency Herschel Space Telescope, as observed with the same infrared wavelength λ. As the Spitzer Space Telescope has a much smaller mirror diameter, light from each part of the galaxy will diffract more and spread out more, resulting in a much less resolved image than from the Herschel Space Telescope, with a much larger mirror diameter, such that light from each part of the galaxy will diffract less and spread out less, resulting in a much better resolved image with finer details left intact.

In the previous presentation we discussed the conditions for constructive or destructive interference for waves (of the same wavelength) due to phase and/or path differences. In this presentation we discuss the very specific case of waves (again, of the same wavelength) from two side-by-side in-phase sources, which we will see has been classically called "double-slit" interference.
First, path-length differences.
You will demonstrate this for yourselves in recreating a classic experiment in laboratory. Using laser light (of a given wavelength λ) that illuminates two very closely spaced together slits (two in-phase sources spaced a distance d apart), there will appear bright (maxima, or constructive interference) regions and dark (minima, or destructive interference) regions on a screen (the detector) at certain θ angles, as predicted by the double-slit interference maxima/minima equations.

Twin Cities Transit: Camera Takes a Dump
Twin Cities Transit
Camera Takes a Dump
I went to the revealing of the new Siemens S70 at Target Field. I was ready to take videos and pictures when my camera did not work :(
So I went to the revealing watching other people taking pictures and I only had my cheap cell phone.It maybe a while before I get a new one. If anyone can suggest a camera for about $200 I would love to hear your suggestions

Sorry to hear about that.
I've had good luck with my Canon ELPH 300 HS so far. The only downside to it is the position of the microphones on top means it picks up wind noise very easily. Still Canon might be a good brand to look at.

Hello everyone and welcome to my Transit Blog. I have been a bus driver since 2000. I worked for Waukesha Metro Transit in Waukesha, Wisconsin from 2000 to 2008. I moved to the Twin Cities with my family in March of 2008. I now work for Metro Transit in Twin Cities. I first started taking pictures and video in the fall of 2007.
I will post my transit related photos and video here. I will also post transit related news. Please leave a comment to let me know what you think.

Posted by Colin McEwen (Editor), December 7, 2012 at 06:52 am 7 Comment Recommend Flag as Inappropriate Loading... x × Next Previous Slideshow Download The 98-year-old Heideloff mansion was officially deemed eligible to become a historic landmark per the city’s ordinance on Thursday night.
The city’s planning commission must now decide whether the property at 13474 Edgewater Drive should get the designation as Lakewood’s fourth-ever historic landmark.
That meeting is slated for next month. It doesn’t appear as if it will be an easy decision.
The neighbors of the property — not the property owners — submitted the paperwork to make the mansion a historic landmark.
The property owners, Michael and Stacey Semaan, then proposed to demolish the home.
Dozens attended the city’s planning commission meeting on Thursday night to weigh in.
“This ordinance (was created) to save some of these structures,” he said. “I am here to plead that this house is worthy of the designation, and I will come back and explain why it needs to be done.” The Semaans said that if the home receives the designation, they would likely sell the home, and believe that the property would lose value.
The Semaans argued that Weber wanted to buy the home, noting an offer he made to them, which they turned down.
A proposal for an extensive renovation to the property was approved by the city last year. Plans to build a second home on a second parcel, near the lake, were also recently approved by the city.
However, Stacey Semaan said there was “resistance” from the neighbors and noted that there are several issues with the house, including a damaged foundation and asbestos in the basement.
“It’s been a nightmare from minute one,” she said. “To get this house back up, it would cost quite a bit of money.”
Instead, the Semaans are now proposing to demolish the home and build another one on the property. The couple — along with their architect Mark Reinhold — presented those preliminary plans to the city’s architectural board of review earlier in the day on Thursday.
“We are either going to get the permit to (demolish the house), or sell it and be gone,” said Michael Semaan.
“If we get that designation, it would ruin the value (of the property).”
In the purchase agreement, the Semaans said that they wouldn’t buy the home if it were going to be designated a historic site. “The Semaans really want to build their dream house by the lake,” Reinhold said. “They don’t want invest $2 million and have it under a bushel. They want people drive down the road and see their hard work.”
“The historical code wasn’t written to be a bully-pulpit.”
Under the city’s ordinance, the commission must host two hearings to determine whether the property — built by a prominent Cleveland industrialist Wilfred Sly — is eligible for the designation. The designation means that demolishing the 98-year-old home would be next to impossible.
Weber, and another neighbor Mary Breiner, submitted a 20-page application, replete with photos and a historical narrative of the property — one of the largest residential properties in the city.
Turns out, neighbors weren’t thrilled with that idea either.
“You have to ask yourselves, ‘if this house doesn’t meet the historical designation, then which ones would?’” said Paul Irwin, a neighbor who lives nearby on Lake Avenue.
“For the Semaans, I can imagine this has been a pretty painful experience. Maybe there’s a solution that already exists, that can bring the parties together that would be a win-win for everybody.”
Board member Hannah Belsito she’s concerned with what could be perceived as a “reactive designation.”
“Is this (proposal) being used as a threat, a shield to protect the building?” asked chairman Mark Stockman. “Is (demolition) being used a sword?”
He also noted that “95 percent” of Lakewood buildings could be deemed historic under the city’s ordinance.
“If this is the first home that we use to designate, this one wouldn’t be the one that comes to the top of my mind,” Stockman added.
The city’s architectural board of review is set to meet next Thursday to hear the demolition proposal. 7 Comment Recommend Flag as Inappropriate Comments + Leave a Comment Show me all earlier comments Missy Limkemann December 7, 2012 at 12:53 pm What makes a house a historic landmark? My house is 114 years old, built by the Nicholson's son and it sits on over half an acre of land. You don't see that anywhere in the city. Recommend Flag as Inappropriate Timothy Carroll December 7, 2012 at 05:36 pm I have thought for the past couple of years that this was a bad law to be on the books, you have someone else trying to define your own property. This ordinance should be re-written to indicate that the owner (or future) of the property must agree to the designation.When the City was putting forth the interior (Historic) designation issue back 2009, I used this very circumstance to argue that this was a bad idea. I hope the Commission denies the application. Recommend Flag as Inappropriate Cindy Marx December 7, 2012 at 06:40 pm I have lived in Lakewood for about 30 years and have never heard of "neighbors" designating a residential property "historic." I know this home has been vacant for a very long time - where were those neighbors good intentions to "save" the home during it's vacant period when it was for sale. Will they help bear the burden of maintaining an historic property in their back yard as they so choose to designate? Those neighbors should tread carefully on the rights of private home ownership within the City, and I believe the City should be careful about setting precidents regarding the designation of historic properties by so called "neighbors." Recommend Flag as Inappropriate T.T. Lakewood December 8, 2012 at 12:57 pm One point that is being missed is the fact that the Ssemans knew what they were purchasing and originally rec'd approval of extensive renovations to the house. The new house was only conceived after they decided they wanted a house on the lake. They knew where the house sat on the property when they purchased the home. You know what you are getting into when you purchased a old home. If you purchased the home only for the property and to build new construction home on it, then why wasn't that the first thing you tried to have done. Recommend Flag as Inappropriate ian king December 9, 2012 at 12:58 pm Hi Cindy,Totally agree! I went through this house during an open estate sale and it is a disaster inside. Nothing special or historic about it at all - except perhaps the mold smell!
I think Lakewood often lives in its own self-perceived importance bubble. Having lived in Philadelphia and Boston, where there are homes that are truly worth the historic preservation label, there just aren't that many special homes in Lakewood that you can't find in almost any other town in the Midwest. What is sooo special about this property from an architectural perspective? Perhaps the only value is its lakefront footage, but that is not historical! This is a very clear case where city government and unhappy neighbors are trying to control the future of their hood according to their own desired values and tastes. And guess what folks, ANYONE who buys a property can decide what they want to do with it, or change their minds if they want to - who cares if plans change? As long as it all meets city code, that is life in any city today, and it is nobody's business. I wonder if all the neighbors who want to use "government" to call this very unexciting/dull visually/ and certainly not important in any historical context home, would want "government" intruding into their lives and trying to control what they want to do with their own personal property..... I truly doubt it! A classic example of using "government" only when it benefits you! Recommend Flag as Inappropriate ian king December 9, 2012 at 01:12 pm Hi again - also, this article describes the interior as being soaring and grand - its interior is truly not that special. I think a more accurate description would be more out of date rooms, especially small, tiny bathrooms and a truly horrible kitchen, that do not accommodate today's lifestyle. Drive into Cleveland and there are many same period homes in Shaker Heights and the Fairmount area of Cleveland that are far grander in appearance, interior, and much more architecturally soaring than this home. If this home is deemed historically important by Lakewood, it will be laughable to many who truly understand the importance of this designation. It is not to be abused lightly, nor to appease unhappy neighbors. Recommend Flag as Inappropriate Richard January 4, 2013 at 07:42 pm Richard 11:34 am on Fri,Jan 4,2013 I think it is a bad thing to do people just care an more.

Creative Miscellany: June 2011
I know, two blogs in as many days is unheard of!! Just a quickie to finish off the update about my new craft room. I know it will be great, but first the clearing out of the old toys. I seem to be spending more time remembering the hours they played with the Lego and what fun we had on many a rainy day with the box of Early Learning animals and who could forget the fingerpaints and dot to dot books............( I could continue , but I won't.)
I have however made some headway in the far end, which was Caileans and boxed up those bits he's donating to charity, but as you can see the middle, which was the art and craft tables and the end nearest the door, which Megan used, are still crammmed with every girlie toy and fancy dress clothes that you could imagine.
I can hear you ask why hasn't she cleared this out earlier? Well, the answer is simple I ALWAYS MEANT to get round to it, but never did.
As you can see it is a mammoth task now, but I SHALL OVERCOME. Have a laugh at my expense, I deserve it. Till next time, when I might have some crafty bits to show.

New Craft Space!!
Hi every one, here I am at long last ,following a very bumpy journey over the last few months. I know I have been a naughty blogger and have let everything slip a little, but I am now resolved to keep my blog up at least once a week. ( I'd like to say even more frequently, but I think that that would be more than wishful thinking!!)
I've a few bits of news to let you in on, and one of them is that I am going to have a much bigger craft space, up at the top of the house on the 2nd. floor where I can make as much mess as I could possibly want. It's three times the size of my other room, so what can a girl do, but sort it out find lots of space and then shop for new stash until every nook and cranny is duly filled. I mean an empty space is so ugly!!!!!
The house had to undergo quite a transformation for me to achieve this, starting with moving all of Bill's office from its original room into a holding area (i.e. The Dining Room ), while I then moved Cailean's toys, equipment and computers, from the old toy room into Bill's old office, before moving all of my craty bits out of my room into the annex kitchen, whilst then returning Bill's office into my old craft room, which Megan and I had cleaned and washed all paint work etc.
They are all happily resituated and have been for some time, but oh wow is me !! My crafty bits are still in the little kitchen. Have a glimpse at the pics. and tell me if you can spot an empty space. ( prizes on a postcard only please..just joking)
All neat and tidy on this side,
I know what your thinking... she has more stash than she could ever use. That may be so, but I so Love looking at it all. I suppose I.m a harmless collector really.
Yes your right we can still just manage to get into the small freezer, I have left ample room around it to open its door. tee hee!!
This wasn't suppose to be a "spot the fixings", but have you managed to find the back door yet????
No chance of using that for a while, nor the dog I've blocked access to the dog flap too and where did I put that cooker??
You know it's been so long since I blogged I'm having real problems putting in the pictures....any suggestions as to the best way? I seem to be spending more of the time trying to get them to sit in the right place!!!! Do you think it's easier to write all the text first and then try to insert photos where you want them, or do them as you go along? Any suggestions would be very welcome, so far this blog has onlt taken 2 hours. It's late now and I was going to show you the new area, but you'll have to wait until the next time.
Sorry, no crafting projects to show just yet, but hopefully in the not too distant future.
By the way if you registered yourself to follow my blog, would you mind doing it again as I some how managed to wipe everybody off, who was a follower, when I was updating it, as a lot of the gadgets I had used had suddenly disappeared and I had to mostly start again!!!!!
Thanks so much and thanks for popping by.

The Hallway: Atta Boy, Canadian Dollar
Well, as I wrote back in 2004 in the post My Prediction, the Canadian dollar has reached parity with the US dollar as of 2:00pm Atlantic time today.
This makes me think I should go buy some shoes in the J C Penny in New Hampshire that is itself bigger than the Charlottetown Mall. I imagine the parking lots near the Canadian border will have more than the usual sight of discarded Canadians' shoes as people leave their old ones right in the lot and put on the new ones to get by customs and save a couple of bucks in duty.
I'm starting to think that the credit crisis, US current accounts deficits, the strong Euro are all forming a perfect storm to deflate the US dollar. Unfortunately the Canadian dollar only looks strong when you compare it to the US dollar, but the Euro and the Yen have been growing steadily against both, only slightly less dramatically against the Canadian dollar. On world markets I suspect that most currency traders still view the two currencies as good or poor buys together, buying both or selling both at once based on what's happening in the US economy. Normally this isn't a bad idea, since our trade relationship is so tight, but I really do see the credit crisis in the US not repeating here. Sure Toronto and Vancouver have ridiculous real estate prices, but I think this reflects genuine demand, rather than inflated prices based on over-eager lending to people who turn around and spend more money than they have competing for every available home up for sale in nearly every major market.
I'm not too worried about this being too harmful to Canada's economy. What will hurt our exporters more than the dollar is simply the dismal economy down South, if people aren't building new houses because they can't get loans, it won't matter how cheap our dollar is if no one wants to by any lumber at all. But at least a strong Canadian dollar will help our ability to trade with the rest of the world, increasing our economic footprint and allowing us to engage on hopefully what will become a more open basis with Europe.
I hope Stephen Harper continues to pay down our debt and doesn't bring in any drastic tax cuts. I wonder if all the staunch supporters of Bush and his tax cuts for the wealthy realize that while they just had their taxes cut by 40%, the value of the money they now have is worth half what it was before Bush came along. But at least they still get to stick it to poor people.

Mystery grows over #Syria’s missing opposition politicians 22/09/12
Damascus // Three leading politicians opposed to the regime of Bashar Al Assad have been abducted by Syria’s feared air-force security agents at a checkpoint on the Damascus airport road.Abdul Aziz Al Kheir, Iyas Ayash and Maher Tahan, all members of the moderate National Coordination Committee (NCC), have not been heard from since Thursday, when they flew back from meetings with the Chinese government in Beijing. “The car they were in was stopped by the air-force intelligence checkpoint, which detained them and escorted them to one of its branches,” the NCC said yesterday. There has been no formal confirmation of the detention by Syrian authorities, a silence that is standard practice. The dozen or more powerful security organisations rarely contact the families of detainees, or announce who has been arrested.Dr Al Kheir, a medical doctor with a reputation for astute political thinking, is a longstanding critic of the Assad family’s authoritarian rule, and was jailed for 13 years by the former president Hafez Al Assad.With the regime now facing the greatest challenge to its rule, and demanding absolute loyalty, Dr Al Kheir’s dissent arguably takes on a renewed significance. He is not only an Alawite, but comes from the same village as the Assad family: Qardaha, a tightly knit community integral to the regime. Syria’s Alawite minority has largely – although far from entirely – sided with the authorities since the start of the uprising last March. Disintegration of that backing would pose a major threat to its hold on power. Dr Al Kheir and his colleagues have made repeated efforts to persuade China and Russia to end their support for Mr Al Assad and, instead, put real pressure on him to end a deadly military crackdown and effectively stand aside.Any hint that those efforts were showing signs of success might prove enough to see them detained.But Damascus is a complex, conspiratorial place and some say the arrests were, in fact, a ploy by the authorities to boost the NCC’s flagging credibility.A widely held theory is that the NCC is a regime-backed puppet – tame opposition designed to deceive the world into believing Damascus does tolerate reasonable political dialogue. The NCC has refused to support the armed revolt, calling instead for peaceful demonstrations, and is resolute in opposing any form of foreign military intervention or support for the rebels. As the uprising has grown, the NCC appears to have haemorrhaged support. A number of its younger, more active members have recently left or are planning to leave, amid criticism that the old-fashioned socialists and Arab nationalists of the NCC – many of them elderly men – are at best out of touch, and have done nothing to help those suffering on the ground or further the cause of unifying the opposition. “All opposition groups know the NCC is orchestrated by the Assad security bodies,” said a leading activist in Damascus.“The regime wants to say this group is genuine by arresting three of its leaders. But they were returning from China on an official visit, they had visas and they openly left and returned from Damascus airport,” something only possible with a green light from the authorities.While other opposition groups such as the Local Coordination Committees have been forced underground, their members arrested or killed, those in the NCC have had their names taken off international travel blacklists and have been able to work in the open.There remain unanswered questions surrounding the disappearance of the men. If air-force security had simply wanted to detain them, it could have done so as they passed through immigration, without even allowing them to leave the airport.Also, through unofficial back channels, commonly used by opposition groups to find out where detained activists are being held, there has been no indication they are under formal detention. Experienced political dissidents depend on personal contacts inside the security apparatus – or bribes – to obtain information on “disappeared” colleagues. This time, however, those channels turned nothing up, activists say. Instead, Syrian officials were saying yesterday that the men had been kidnapped by an armed gang.While that may be unlikely, it cannot yet be ruled out. As violence has spread in Damascus and law and order continues to break down, armed groups, associated either with the regime or rebels, have proliferated. Increasingly there are reports of their being involved in criminal acts including kidnapping for ransom and motorway robbery.The airport road has been closed by fighting on more than one occasion, and daylight abductions are far from rare. In July, Italian workers were kidnapped en route to the airport, and Syrian state media said at the time they had been abducted by “terrorists” and freed during military operations.The prisoners said later they did not know who had abducted them.

How does bison meat taste after being frozen for 30,000 years? Were Ice Age cave painters trying to create "art" or just record history? How did ancient oil spills occur, before there were oil companies to create them? Those are just some of the questions renowned paleontologist Bjorn Kurten answers in this collection of lighthearted essays on fossils, ancient life, and related topics. Written for the general reader, these lively pieces range from a look at how scientific theories are created to some new views of old myths. Among the topics Kurten examines are the history of the Mediterranean Sea, the origin of birds, the theory of plate tectonics (continental drift), and the discovery of Piltdown Man, the "missing link" fossil forgery that fooled scientists for more than 40 years.And, true to its title, the book offers a humorous "recipe" for freezing a mammoth that is tundra-tested, if not totally foolproof. "You may have to expend a few hundred mammoths before everything works out," the reader is cautioned, "But there are plenty of them." (Although the author hasn't tasted the fruits of his mammoth recipe, he did feast on some ancient bison meat that dated from 30,000 years ago. Kurten described the taste as "agreeable.")Throughout these essays Kurten brings the prehistoric world alive with enthusiasm and humor, emphasizing that paleontology is the study of those that lived long ago instead of those who are long dead. As he says, "Isn't it more fun to see a dinosaur as something that used to live, rather than as the monstrous heap of bones which it happens to be at present?"

Intoxicating Beauty: February 2015
Meet another empty of mine. I finally finished it and I thought I'd share my thoughts on it before I toss it out. It's been sitting on my desk for nearly two weeks now. Taunting me to rewrite that post that got effed up.
I was immediately on the hunt for this when I caught wind of its release. And I did find it on Feeluniques page. It's a dry shampoo collaboration between CoLab and the model/youtuber Ruth Crilly "A model recommends". They launched a whole range of scents all named after a fashion city in the originals. I say originals because since then they have launched one with more volume properties.
I chose the Tokyo Oriental Fragrance. Has nothing to do with that the cap is bright pink but more to do with that one of my sisters recently visited Tokyo.
It comes in vaguely gold can with a colored top and some kind of pattern on the lower part. The pattern and color all varies depending on which city you choose. I really like the design.
As for the contents the first thing you will notice is that is very heavily fragranced. I have no idea what the Orient smells like but I'm pretty sure it isn't like this. It has a spicy floral scent to it. And that scent hangs around all day! I caught my self feeling it every time I turned my head. If you wear this there is no need for wearing a perfume, that's how strong it is. The shampoo itself mists out the same way it does in any dry shampoo really. The first half of the bottle was a pure joy to use. It did it's job, no itching and it even added a little lift to the roots. But the second half? The residue got heavier, more powdery and it didn't work as well. I always shake the bottle really well before I use them. And now to something that would've been a real sellingpoint for me had I seen it before doing a review of it is that it says Sheer invisible on the front. This is in no meaning of the word sheer invisible. Not even the first half of it was. Sure, it was less noticeable than the Batiste but the second half was really really heavy on the residue front. I don't know if I got a wonky bottle or if they are all like this.
In any case, if I will buy anything from the range again it will be the one with more volume and in another scent. This was just too strong. I want a more subtle scent and not one that hangs around all day. And another thing, I don't think of the Orient when someone says Tokyo. Just me?

I meant to put a post up lasr friday. It took me over an hour to write but somehow bloggr messed up and was unable to save and publish it. So all my troubles and witty writing went out the window. And it isn't the first time this happens to me. From now on I will write my posts in some form of word program and then paste it all on here to publish. How do you guys solve this kind of issues?
Since then I haven't hade the time to get typing. We are doing something secret that I might show you guys when it's all done.

This kind of post normally requires a picture of the empty products. But me, living with a person who throws everything away and I sorta kinda had a fit last night and cleaned out a lot, there wont be any pictures.
You might remember me telling you a few weeks ago that I thought my foundation was about to run out and I had a hard time deciding which one to get and to actually order it. Well, it did run out about a week ago. And I ordered a new one and I've lived the past week without a foundation! Getting to work with only mascara and my brows done. Can't wait for the new one to get here!
I liked the L'Oreal Infallible foundation a lot. Only complaint is that it wasn't really compatible with dry skin. Which I have all year round but especially during the winter months. But if you have normal skin year round and haven't tried this yet, I really recommend you do.
Oh my Ole Henriksen Read tea facial cleanser lasted me for so long. And it was a dream to use and my skin had no complaints what so ever about it. It lasted me longer than I thought but I still can't bring myself to pay for the full size of it.
And I've finished a shampoo and some shower gels but they aren't that exciting to read about.

I just wanted to wish you all a very happy Valentines day. Mine is almost over, but for some of you, it might be just beginning. I saw a very funny pic on facebook that I wanted to share with you all. Please, don't take this the wrong way.
There's always someone who cares for you. You might not know it, but there is.

The Visual Science Lab / Kirk Tuck: Aug 23, 2019
I recently read, on the web, that Fuji's X-H1 camera might be good....
Well. I guess it's okay. For a cropped frame camera.
I couldn't believe it when I saw the price on the Fuji X-H1 with battery grip AND three batteries drop to $999. It's an amazing price for a fully featured, professional camera. But equally surprising were the legions of photographers who emerged to tout the robust performance, incredible build quality, class leading video performance, near state of the art IBIS and the great way the cameras feels in one's hands.
If only someone had let us know all of this information several months ago! We could have been enjoying the camera all along...
I've heard that some professional photographers love the camera so much they've purchased an extra one. There's a crazy guy with a blog who actually bought three this year!!!!
But, you know....APS-C. And that tricky Fuji X-trans. And those wacky Fuji colors. Oh, and yes! the battery life (or lack thereof). Couple all that with only twenty or so lenses and you have a system that no self-respecting pro could shoot with. But it's fun to think about; right?
Did I mention the strengthened lens mount?
Or the 4K DCI video?
Or the 8-16mm f2.8 lens?
Naw. Nobody wants this....
We'll just wait and see what Fuji announces to replace this.....

Thursday's project with two video cameras and a small cadre of real scientists. Fuji style video production.
Assisted Flying in Pease Park. Austin, Texas
Yesterday Ben and I did a project for the Oceanography Department at UT Austin (my friends in Knoxville have let me know that UT = University of Tennessee; founded long before the University of Texas at Austin. From now on we'll just call our local one "The" University). Our part was pretty straightforward, we were recording interviews with faculty and graduate students about their experiences with an intensive, immersive, three week, hands-on course. From what I gathered listening to the interviews the time spent doing real research on locations at sea is by turns challenging, rewarding and fun --- even the people prone to seasickness rallied and otherwise appreciated the adventure.
The two scientists who invited us to participate in the making of the video are friends that I swim with in our masters swimming program. Between the four of we've logged a lot of miles in the Rollingwood Pool. Seeing everyone in work clothes was a bit out of context.
The team at UT Austin wanted to improve on previous videos that featured a lot of smart phone interviews and less than perfect audio. Ben and I wanted to up the ante just a bit and also provide a second camera angle for all the interviews so that the person who will edit the programs together is able to switch views to avoid monotony.
Our first set of interviews started at 10 a.m. I had scouted the week before and we reserved a big seminar room with great acoustics and lots of space. We loaded in at 9 a.m. and set up our two cameras. I'd done a lot of microphone testing in the last few weeks and found that the Rode NTG4+ is a really good shotgun microphone. We used it for the interviews in this room because it was both large enough and also had great sound abatement everywhere. I wasn't worried about secondary reflections or phase issues caused by reverberation.
We ran the Rode Mic into a Beachtek pre-amp and ran the Beachtek into a Fujifilm X-T3, which I shot as the "main" camera. Since the audio input and headphone amplifier are both very clean in the X-T3 I didn't need to use the audio monitoring on an external device (Atomos Ninja) to make sure the fuzziness we usually hear in the headphones plugged into X-H1s wasn't in the final, recorded signal.
The X-T3 makes audio level monitoring and control easy with great on screen indicators and the ability to punch in for fine focus while recording is something every camera should feature but which was conspicuously absent on the Sony A7ii and A7Rii cameras I owned.
The lighting in the seminar room was great. With very high ceilings and bright LED fixtures (made in tubes to be interchangeable with florescent fixtures), we were able to color match our LED light + soft box with a quick custom white balance. Our light provided just enough front light to give direction and to fill in the "raccoon" eye look that happens when most of the lighting comes from directly above.
We did five interviews in the main seminar room before taking a break for lunch. The department provided a great lunch of chicken and/or steak fajitas along with rice, beans, guacamole and various salsas. Every interviewee was invited along to lunch along with our tiny video crew of two. The wonderful thing about collaborating on projects in an academic environment is that there's never that "life or death" feeling about projects that seems to be part of the corporate mindset. No fear that jobs are on the line or that some unreal deadline is hovering over the project that will keep everyone awake and on caffeine until the project is finally blessed by some sadistic VP over in marketing. That sure made our lunch a lot more fun...
Our next set of interviews was done in a hallway on the third floor of the building. We used a giant, blue, green, and tan colored map of the oceans as our out of focus background. The hallway was flooded with daylight from a window just behind me and it looked pretty incredible as is. Since the acoustics of the hallway and the proximity of the walls was so different than the downstairs area I switched to a lavaliere microphone to combat the known technical issues smaller spaces present to shotgun microphones.
I didn't have the patience to mess with a wireless system, I just wanted a solution that worked in a bulletproof manner, so I kept the radio mic system in the audio bag and pulled out a reliable Audio Technica AT-70, hardwired lav. system and attached it to the pre-amp with a long XLR cable. Perfect audio every time. You do need to be somewhat careful with mic placement (about 12 inches from the subject's mouth) and you do need to tape down cables to keep "thump" resonances at bay, but otherwise the use of a wired microphone in today's age of wireless mania is a nearly foolproof way to get good, clean audio in tight or noisy spaces. And you don't need to worry about interference from other electronic devices.
When we started filming in the morning I put on the 56mm f1.2 APD lens and used it on the main camera at f2.8 or f2.5. The backgrounds look great and the parts of the subject that are meant to be in focus are nicely detailed and snappy. Ben's camera was an X-H1 and he used the 16-55mm lens at a middle-to-wide setting and generally at f2.8. The faster lenses and wider apertures allowed us to stay in the ISO 320-640 range which made for very nice and noiseless files.
Our final location, for four interviews, was in a working lab with the attendant environmental noise of a working space. The lavaliere microphone was the logical choice in this environment as well and it did a good job of rejecting a lot of the room noise; even a vent hood that could only be turned off if we were all willing to take a chance on dying.... (kidding, kind of...).
The two camera system is a godsend for editing as you can weave different looks in and out of B-roll and make your program more dynamic. Ben and I were careful to color match both cameras and to make sure the custom white balances were done in the same settings and at the same angles. There might be slight exposure differences between the cameras but they will be easy to match in the editing process.
Between both cameras we ended up with about 180 Gigabytes of .Mov files. The real blessing of this project, for me and Ben, is that we don't have to edit it. The folks at UT Austin will be doing that in house. Once we deliver a couple of memory sticks were golden.
After we wrapped up and loaded the car the whole group headed over to Austin Beer Works for a celebratory round of Austin's great craft beer. Instead of empty discussions about market share and advertising metrics the table chat was all about "the next expedition." I was a bit jealous as my favorite scientist there told me about an upcoming scientific project in Antartica and a second project in the Mojave Desert. But those are weeks away; he's still recovering from last week's adventures of the coast of Greenland... Sounds even better than being a photographer.
Just transferring the "footage" to some flash memory right....now.

Songs like "Daddy's Money," "What Do I Know," and "Love Is Stronger Than Pride" are all listed in the tracks, and all landed in Top Ten spots on the Billboard music chart. The same year the debut was released, Ricochet's music earned it awards such as top new vocal group from the Academy of Country Music, top new country artist from Billboard magazine, group of the year from the Radio & Records reader's poll, and favorite new group or duo by the Country Weekly Golden Pick awards. Ricochet -- the group and the album -- offers contemporary country fans some great harmonies that are showcased on ballads like "What Do I Know." There are also some great up-tempo numbers with plenty of guitar action. Overall, the debut is a pretty impressive contribution. Members of the country group are fiddler and guitarist Junior Bryant, bass guitarist Greg Cook, steel guitarist Shannon Farmer, drummer and harmonica player Keith Mellington, keyboardist Steve Paxton, and lead guitarist Heath Wright. All members serve vocal duties, but Wright is the lead singer. Some of the members also handle songwriting. The country band tours a lot, even doing USO shows for the armed services. ~ Charlotte Dillon, Rovi Read Less

Amazon.com: D. Edwards "DD"'s review of Calvin Klein Jeans Women's Modern Bootcut ...
sizing can be tricky, December 9, 2013
By D. Edwards "DD"
This review is from: Calvin Klein Jeans Women's Modern Bootcut Jean (Apparel)
These are great jeans. They fit great and are just as nice as some of the upscale jeans (like Joe's) but for 1/4 of the price.My issue was that I tried a pair on in a store in size 8 and liked them, but they were a tad too tight, so I ordered them from Amazon one size up, but when they arrived, I realized that the size 10 fit the same as the size 8 I had tried on! Too snug, so I had to return them. Quality was great though.

A Recovering Craft Hoarder: Two More Books!!
Two More Books!!
I finished two more books. Good thing, since I started classes this week. I have a SUPER full load; not sure how much leisure reading time I will have or if I'll feel like reading after finishing up homework assignments. Maybe...maybe not. Figured I'd better get in the good stuff while I could.
The first book, Every Last One by Anna Quindlen is a bestseller. I got through it quickly. Warnings: I would rate it a definite PG-13. It's not close to R, but it is also nowhere near PG. That being said, the story is well written and I cried...a lot. I don't want to give the story away, but I will say, it will shock you.
And the book I finished up over the weekend, Matched by Ally Condie is wonderful! I was in mourning the two days after I had finished it. I wanted to read, but the story I wanted to read was Matched.
To make matters worse, it's part of a sequel. I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR SEQUELS. Grrrrrr. I've requested it for Valentine's Day. Problem is, if I'm reading Crossed, I won't be reading my homework. I'm utterly torn. But it's SO good and a great escape from the heavy stuff I'm reading now...no offense, Earth Science book, but I feel like I'm reading a foreign language when I read your words.
Oh yes Every Last One, totally caught me by surprise and I bawled my eyes out!!
I've been wanting to read matched! Looks good! | [

Analysis of the neurofibromatosis type 2 gene in different human tumors of neuroectodermal origin — Italian Ministry of Health
Lucia Rosaria De Vitis, Andrea Tedde, Francesca Vitelli, Franco Ammannati, Pasquale Mennonna, Paolo Bono, Barbara Grammatico, Paola Grammatico, Paolo Radice, Umberto Bigozzi, Enrico Montali, Laura Papi
The autosomal dominant syndrome neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is characterized by the development of bilateral vestibular schwannomas, meningiomas, ependymomas and gliomas. The NF2 gene, recently isolated from chromosome 22, is mutated in both sporadic and NF2 tumors such as schwannomas, meningiomas and ependymomas. Mutations of the gene have been described not only in the neoplasms usually associated with NF2, but also in 30% of the melanomas and 41% of the mesotheliomas analyzed. In particular, the finding of mutations in melanomas supports the hypothesis that the NF2 gene is involved in the genesis of several tumor types that arise from the embryonic neural crest. In this study we examined, by single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis, 41 tumors of the central nervous system (11 schwannomas and 30 gliomas), 19 melanomas and 15 Merkel cell carcinoma specimens for mutations in the coding sequence of the NF2 gene. We found three inactivating mutations of the NF2 gene in schwannomas. No alterations of the gene were detected by SSCP analysis of the other tumors. These results confirm the role of NF2 in pathogenesis of schwannomas, but do not define its significance in the genesis of the other neuroectodermal tumors studied.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Venus Williams is trying to get to the fourth round at the U.S. Open for the first time since 2010 - and at any Grand Slam tournament for the first time since 2011.
While Williams owns seven major singles titles, including two at the U.S. Open in 2000 and 2001, Errani has had more recent success at tennis' most prestigious events.
''She's so focused. She does everything well on the court clearly, because she's a great singles player and a doubles player,'' said Williams, who is 3-0 against Errani in previous singles matchups. ''Every time I've played her, I've had to be focused on every single point, because she does not let up on any point, no matter what the score is.''
''It's obvious that players who play that strong give me problems. They don't let me find my rhythm. They don't let me find my game,'' Errani said. ''Venus is tall, so the balls that I like to play to bother opponents - high shots with topspin - are perfect for her. So we'll see.''
Other things to watch on Day 5 at the year's last Grand Slam tournament:
BIG SERVES: Known as a top returner, Maria Sharapova will need to contend with the owner of the fastest serve in women's tennis.
''Should be a fun one,'' Lisicki said.
FEDERER VS. GROTH: Roger Federer faces a big server at night, too, playing Australia's Sam Groth in the second round. | [

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates generally to mobile hard surface cleaners and, more particularly, to a cleaning liquid dispensing system for use in a hard surface cleaner. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Hard floor surface cleaners are widely used to clean the floors of industrial and commercial buildings. They range in size from a small model that is controlled by an operator walking behind the machine, which may clean a path ranging from 15 inches to 36 inches wide, to a large model that is controlled by an operator riding on the machine, which may clean a path as wide as 5 feet. These hard floor surface cleaners include motorized drive wheels, a solution tank to hold a cleaning solution and a recovery tank to hold soiled cleaning solution recovered from the floor being scrubbed. [0004] The cleaning solution from the solution tank is applied to the hard floor surface adjacent a motorized scrub head. The cleaning solution is typically a mixture of a cleaning agent and water. The scrub head generally contains one or more scrubber brushes attached either in front of, under, or behind the vehicle. The scrubber brushes are rotated to provide the desired scrubbing engagement with the hard floor surface. The soiled cleaning solution is then recovered using a solution recovery system, which returns the soiled cleaning solution to the recovery tank. [0005] Conventional hard floor surface cleaners apply the cleaning liquid to the floor at a high volume flow rate to provide complete wetting of the floor being cleaned. This wetting of the hard floor surface allows the scrub head to transfer dirt from the floor into the cleaning liquid, which is then removed from the hard floor surface and deposited in the recovery tank as soiled cleaning liquid. [0006] Unfortunately, the high volume flow rate of the cleaning solution of prior art hard floor surface cleaners also results in extended operational downtime due to the numerous disposals of soiled cleaning solution and refills of cleaning solution that must be performed for a given job. Such refills typically involve manually filling the solution tank with water and mixing in a cleaning agent or chemical to form the cleaning liquid. In addition to being time-consuming, such manual mixing of the cleaning liquid invites errors in the formulation. Typically, operators add too much cleaning agent to the water, which results in an undesirable residue of the cleaning agent on the floor. The residue can be unsightly and slippery. [0007] There is a continued demand for improvements to hard floor surface cleaners including increasing the cleaning efficiency, improving control of the cleaning liquid formulation, reducing residue on the hard floor surface following a cleaning operation, and other improvements. SUMMARY [0008] The present invention is directed to a cleaning liquid dispensing system for use in a mobile hard surface cleaner. The system generally includes a cleaning agent container, a cleaning agent supply line coupled to the cleaning agent container, a flow control device, and a pressure regulator. The cleaning agent container is configured to contain a supply of cleaning agent. The flow control device includes a first input coupled to the cleaning agent supply line, a second input, and an output. The pressure regulator is configured to control a pressure in the cleaning agent supply line and is positioned in line with the cleaning agent supply line between the first input of the flow control device and the cleaning agent container. [0009] Other features and benefits that characterize embodiments of the present invention will be apparent upon reading the following detailed description and review of the associated drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0031] One embodiment of the present invention is directed to a cleaning liquid dispensing system, generally designated as 100, for use with a hard surface cleaner, such as hard floor surface cleaner 110 shown in FIG. 1. Hard floor surface cleaner 110 is illustrated as a walk-behind cleaner used to clean hard floor surfaces 111, such as concrete, tile, vinyl, terrazzo, etc., over which cleaner 110 travels. Alternatively, cleaner 110 can be a ride-on or towed-behind cleaner performing a scrubbing operation as described herein. Cleaner 110 may include electrical motors powered through an on-board power source, such as batteries, or through an electrical cord. Alternatively, an internal combustion engine system could be used either alone, or in combination with, the electric motors. [0032] Cleaner 110 generally includes a recovery tank 112, a lid 114, a cleaning liquid component tank 118, and a scrub head 120. Lid 114 is attached along one side of the recovery tank 112 by hinges (not shown) so that lid 114 can be pivoted up to provide access to the interior of tank 112. Tank 118 contains a primary cleaning liquid component (i.e. water) that is combined with a cleaning agent by the dispensing system 100 to form a cleaning liquid that can be applied to hard floor surface 111, as will be discussed in greater detail below. Scrub head 120 includes a scrubbing member 122, shrouds 124, and a scrubbing member drive 126. Scrubbing member 122 may be one or more brushes, such as bristle brushes, pad scrubbers, or other hard floor surface scrubbing elements. Drive 126 includes one or more electric motors to rotate the scrubbing member 122. Drive 126 may also oscillate scrubbing member 122. Scrub head 120 is attached to cleaner 110 such that scrub head 120 can be moved between a lowered cleaning position and a raised traveling position. Other embodiments of cleaner 110 will be discussed below that utilize alternative scrub heads 120 and that eliminate the scrub head 120 completely. [0033] A machine frame or mobile body 127 supports recovery tank 112 on wheels 128 and castors 129. Details of the frame are shown and described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,611,105, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Wheels 128 are preferably driven by a motor and transaxle assembly shown schematically at 130. [0034] The rear of the frame 127 carries a linkage 131 to which a fluid recovery device 132 is attached. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the fluid recovery device 132 includes a vacuum squeegee 134 and a vacuum 135 communication with an inlet chamber of recovery tank 112 through a hose 136, which is illustrated in greater detail in FIG. 2. The bottom of the inlet chamber is provided with a drain 140 with a drain hose 142 connected to it. Soiled cleaning solution that is collected by squeegee 134 is sucked into recovery tank 112 by vacuum 135. A residue of cleaning liquid typically remains on the hard floor surface 111 until air dried. Alternative mechanical devices, structures, or systems may be used to convey the soiled solution from the floor surface into recovery tank 112. [0035] Cleaner 110 can include a battery compartment 150 in which batteries 152 reside. Batteries 152 provide power to drive motors 126, vacuum fan 154 of vacuum 135, and other electrical components of cleaner 110. Vacuum fan 154 is mounted under lid 114. A control unit 156 mounted on the rear of the body of cleaner 110 includes steering control handles 158 and operating controls and gages for cleaner 110. Additional aspects of automatic hard floor surface cleaners are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,483,718, 5,515,568, and 5,566,422, each of which are incorporated herein by reference. [0036] Cleaning liquid dispensing system 100 dispenses a wet foamed cleaning liquid for use by the hard floor surface cleaner 110 during surface cleaning operations. In general, dispensing system 100 combines a cleaning agent with a primary cleaning liquid component (i.e., water) to form a cleaning liquid, which is then aerated to produce a foamed cleaning liquid for use by cleaner 110 to clean a hard floor surface. As will be discussed below, the foamed cleaning liquid is a very wet foam that allows for the complete wetting of the hard floor surface. Additionally, the foamed cleaning liquid utilizes very little cleaning agent thereby reducing the amount of residue remaining on the hard floor surface, reducing chemical waste, and extending the life of the cleaning agent supply. [0037] [0037]FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of cleaning liquid dispensing system 100 in accordance with various embodiments of the invention. FIG. 4 is a simplified front view of cleaner 110 that includes dispensing system 100. FIG. 5 is a side plan view of components of dispensing system 100 in accordance with embodiments of the invention. Dispensing system 100 generally includes a cleaning agent container 200 having a supply of cleaning agent 201, a cleaning agent supply line 202, a flow control device 204, and a pressure regulator 206. [0038] Cleaning agent container 200 is configured to contain supply of cleaning agent 201. The cleaning agent 201 may include one or more surfactants, builders, solvents, or other components. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, cleaning agent 201 includes an anionic surfactant, a non-anionic surfactant, a cationic surfactant, or a combination thereof. A particularly preferred surfactant is DeTeric CP-Na-38 manufactured by DeForest Enterprises, Inc. of Boca Raton, Fla. Cleaning agent is preferably in a concentrated form (e.g., more than 30% solids). In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the cleaning agent container 200 is a collapsible container that collapses as the cleaning agent contained therein is removed. This avoids a need to ventilate the container, which could give rise to leaks and cause the cleaning agent to dry out. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, container 200 is a collapsible bag that can be contained in a cleaning agent cartridge 208 (FIG. 2), which will be discussed in greater detail below. [0039] Cleaning agent supply line 202 is coupled to the cleaning agent container 200. Cleaning agent supply line 202 generally corresponds to the fluid flow path formed by tubing 210 (FIG. 4) and other components of system 100 to deliver cleaning agent 201 contained in container 200 to a first input 212 of flow control device 204. [0040] First input 212 of flow control device 204 is configured to receive a flow of cleaning agent 214 from supply 200 through supply line 202 and other components of system 100. Flow control device 204 is also configured to receive a flow of primary cleaning liquid component 216 at a second input 218. Flow control device 204 is further configured to combine the flows of cleaning agent 214 and primary cleaning liquid component 216 and produce an output flow of cleaning liquid 220 at an output 222. [0041] The primary cleaning liquid component 216 is preferably water and is contained in tank 118 of cleaner 110 or provided from another source. The flow of primary cleaning liquid component 216 is preferably driven through conduit 226 by a pump 228 at a flow rate that is desired for the cleaning operation. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the flow of primary cleaning liquid component 216 is driven at a substantially constant flow rate of approximately 0.5 gallons per minute or less. However, the flow rate can be modified depending on the application for system 100. Pump 228 is generally positioned in line with fluid conduit 226 and includes an outlet 230 that is maintained at a desired high pressure. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the pressure at outlet 230 is held substantially constant at approximately 60 pounds per square inch (psi). [0042] Flow control device 204 preferably combines the flow of cleaning agent 214 with the flow of primary cleaning liquid component 216 at a ratio of 1 part cleaning agent to 1000 parts primary cleaning liquid component. Accordingly, the resultant cleaning liquid 220 is formed of 0.1% cleaning agent, which is substantially less than conventional hard floor surface cleaning liquids. As a result, the present invention leaves very little cleaning agent residue following application to a hard surface, produces very little chemical waste, and increases the life of the supply of cleaning agent contained in container 200. [0043] Flow control device 204 injects the flow of cleaning agent 214 into the flow of primary cleaning liquid component 216 using an injector 236 at a rate that is generally less than approximately 10.0 cubic centimeters per minute. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, the flow of cleaning agent 214 is preferably limited to less than approximately 2.0 cubic centimeters per minute to provide the desired 0.1% concentration level of cleaning agent in the cleaning liquid 220 relative to the flow of primary cleaning liquid 216. For example, a flow rate of approximately 1.2 cubic centimeters per minute is desired when the flow rate of the primary cleaning liquid component is approximately 0.33 gallons per minute, and a flow rate of approximately 0.5 cubic centimeters per minute is desired when the flow rate of the primary cleaning liquid component is approximately 0.13 gallons per minute. Injector 236 preferably operates to siphon the cleaning agent flow 214 from the supply 201 using a venturi member 238. In operation, the flow of primary cleaning liquid 216 through venturi member 238 creates a vacuum of approximately 370 inches of water (134.6 psi), that draws the flow of cleaning agent 214 into the flow of primary cleaning liquid component 216 at the desired rate. One such suitable flow control device 204 is the 50580 siphon produced by Spraying Systems Company of Wheaton, Ill. [0044] The vacuum produced by flow control device 204 allows the cleaning agent supply 201 contained in collapsible bag 200 of cleaning agent cartridge 208 to be completely drained regardless of its position. That is, cleaning agent cartridge 208 can be positioned below flow control device 204 without affecting the draw of the cleaning agent 201 through supply line 202. However, it is preferred that the diameter and length of conduit 210 forming supply line 202 be selected to prevent substantial resistance to the flow of cleaning agent 214 there through. [0045] In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the rate of the flow of cleaning agent 214 through injector 236 is adjustable using a valve 242, such as a needle seat valve, for example. Valve 242 is preferably configured to provide accurate adjustment to the slow output flow of cleaning agent 214. Valve 242 preferably includes a sharp needle having for example, a two degree needle tip for improved sensitivity. [0046] Although the valve 242 can be used to adjust the flow rate of the of cleaning agent flow 214, problems can arise as a result of the viscosity of the cleaning agent 201, the size of the orifice of the needle seat valve 242, and the vacuum generated by injector 236. In particular, it has been discovered that the most consistent cleaning agent flow rates are achieved when injector 236 generates a large vacuum, such as 370 inches of water, in response to the flow of primary cleaning liquid component 216. At such a high vacuum, the valve 242 that is in line with injector 236 must close the flow path through which the cleaning agent flow 214 travels to such a degree that clogging of the flow path can occur, which prevents accurate cleaning agent flow rate control. Unfortunately, when valve 242 is adjusted to a large enough opening to avoid clogging of the flow path for the cleaning agent, the opening is generally too large to restrict the flow of cleaning agent 214 to the desired rate. As a result, the cleaning agent flow rate would be higher than the preferred flow rate without additional controls. [0047] The pressure regulator 206 of system 100 provides the desired additional control over the flow rate of the cleaning agent flow 214 to accurately control the flow rate of the flow of cleaning agent 214 into the flow of primary cleaning liquid component 216. Pressure regulator 206 is positioned in line with the cleaning agent supply line 202 between the first input 212 of the flow control device 204 and the cleaning agent container 200. Pressure Regulator 206 generally operates to maintain the pressure at first input 212 of flow control device 204 at a preferred pressure to provide the desired flow rate for the flow of cleaning agent through the flow control device 204. As the pressure in supply line 202 is decreased by pressure regulator 206, the volumetric flow rate of the cleaning agent flow 214 decreases. As a result, the pressure regulator 206 can be used to control the flow rate of the cleaning agent flow 214 to the desired low flow rate for the given flow control device 204 being used including a flow control device 204 that includes a valve 242 having a large enough opening to avoid clogging by the cleaning agent. [0048] In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, pressure regulator 206 includes an air inlet port 244 and an airflow path 246, as shown in FIG. 5. The airflow path 246 extends between a cleaning agent flow path 248 and the air inlet port 244. The cleaning agent flow path 248 is generally defined by the cleaning agent supply line 202, such as the flow path through component 250, to which pressure regulator connects. Component 250 can be a check valve to prevent the undesired backflow of cleaning agent 201 and/or primary cleaning liquid component 216 from flow control device 204. Pressure regulator 206 can include a valve that is either located adjacent to the supply line 202, such as valve 252, or located remotely therefrom, such as valve 254. Valve 252 or 254 is preferably operable between an open position in which the airflow path 246 is open to allow air, indicated by arrow 256, to enter through air inlet port 244 and into the flow of cleaning agent 214, and a closed position, in which the air flow path 246 is closed. The valve (252 or 254) can be adjusted or pre-set to operate to maintain the pressure at the cleaning agent flow path at the desired level relative to the ambient pressure by opening when the pressure at first inlet 212 of flow control device 204 drops below a threshold minimum. In accordance a preferred embodiment of the invention, pressure regulator 206 is a relief-check valve assembly, such as a 4-6 psi relief-check valve assembly. Such pressure regulators are available from Smart Products, Inc. of San Jose, Calif. [0049] During normal operation, the flow of primary cleaning liquid component 216 through venturi member 238 generates a vacuum of approximately 370 inches of water at the first input 212 of flow control device 204 when valve 252 or 254 of pressure regulator 206 is closed or pressure regulator 206 is not present. At this high pressure, the flow of cleaning agent 208 is injected into the flow of primary cleaning liquid at a rate of much greater than 2.0 cubic centimeters per minute. However, when valve 252 and/or 254 are open, the vacuum generated by flow control device 204 causes air 256 to be drawn in through air inlet port 244 and airflow path 246 of pressure regulator 206 and into the flow of cleaning agent 214. This reduces the pressure at the first inlet 212 of the flow control device 204 to a desired level and controls the flow rate of the cleaning agent flow 214 injected into the flow of primary cleaning liquid 216. [0050] The particular settings for pressure regulator 206 can be selected empirically based upon the vacuum generated by flow control device 204 and the desired flow rate for the flow of cleaning agent 214. For example, when pressure regulator 206 is a 6 psi relief-check valve, the vacuum at the first input of flow control device can be reduced from 370 inches of water to approximately 150 inches of water, thereby causing the resultant flow rate of the flow of cleaning agent that is injected into the flow of primary cleaning liquid component to drop to approximately 1.2 cubic centimeters per minute when valve 242 is property set or when a suitable metering device 260 (FIGS. 3 and 5) is installed in line with supply line 202. When pressure regulator 206 is a 5 psi relief-check valve, the vacuum at the first input 212 of flow control device 204 can be reduced from 370 inches of water to approximately 110 inches of water, thereby causing the resultant flow rate of the flow of cleaning agent 214 that is injected into the flow of primary cleaning liquid component 216 to drop to approximately 0.5 cubic centimeters per minute. Accordingly, the selection or setting of pressure regulator 206 can determine the pressure drop at the inlet 212 of flow control device 204 and the resultant flow rate of the flow of cleaning agent 214 that is injected into the flow of primary cleaning liquid component 216. [0051] The valve 252 and/or 254 of pressure regulator 206 controls the introduction of air 256 into supply line 202 and, therefore, the amount of vacuum relief and the resultant flow rate of the flow of cleaning agent 214. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, valve 252 is controllable by an operator of system 100, such as an operator of a hard floor surface cleaner 110 in which system 100 is installed. In general, valve 254 can be formed as a component of a remote airflow control 262 (FIG. 5) and can be used to control the airflow 256 through airflow path 246 that extends to valve 254 through tubing 264. Valve 254 is preferably biased (e.g., spring-loaded) toward an open position, in which air 256 is allowed to enter tubing 264. Valve 254 can be closed by the operator to close the airflow path 240 regardless of the position of valve 252. Accordingly, even if valve 252 is open, valve 254 of remote airflow control 262 can close the airflow path 246 and cause the vacuum at the input 212 of flow control device 204 to increase and thereby draw the flow of cleaning agent 214 into the flow of primary cleaning liquid component 216 at a high rate. Such a surge in the flow rate of the cleaning agent may be used when an increase in the concentration of the cleaning agent 214 in the cleaning liquid 220 is desired for special cleaning operations or to drive potentially clogging debris through the flow control device 204 or metering device 260. [0052] Additional control of the flow rate of the flow of cleaning agent 214 can be provided by a metering device 260, shown in FIG. 3, which is positioned in line with the cleaning agent supply line 202 between the flow control device 204 and the cleaning agent container or supply 200. Metering device 260 can be positioned on either side of pressure regulator 206. Metering device 260 includes an upstream high pressure side 220 and a downstream low pressure side 272. The pressure drop across metering device 260 between high pressure side 270 and low pressure side 272 restricts the flow of fluid there through to further control the flow rate of the flow of cleaning agent 214. Multiple metering devices 260 can be positioned in series to provide the desired pressure drop in the fluid flow 214. [0053] In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, metering device 260 includes a metering orifice or orifice plate 274, as shown in FIG. 5. The exemplary orifice plate 274 shown in FIG. 6 includes an orifice 276 through which the flow of cleaning agent 214 flows. Plate 274 is installed in supply line 202, such that the cleaning agent 214 is forced to flow through orifice 276. This produces the pressure drop as described above and restricts the flow 214 to the desired flow rate. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, orifice 276 of orifice plate 274 has a diameter D of 0.006 inches. One example of a suitable metering orifice or orifice plate 274 is part number CP 4916-40 manufactured by Spraying Systems Co. of Wheaton, Ill. Other orifice plates or metering orifice configurations are possible as well, such as by providing multiple orifices in the plate 98 or other flow restriction configurations. [0054] In accordance with another embodiment of the invention, metering device 2604 includes a labyrinthine fluid flow path to provide the desired flow restriction. The labyrinthine path is preferably formed by one or more drip irrigators 278, as shown in FIG. 7. One such preferred drip irrigator suitable for use in metering device 260 is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,031,837 and available as part number R108C manufactured by Raindrip of Woodland Hills, Calif. One or more drip irrigators 278 can are placed in series and coupled together with tubing sections 280, as shown in FIG. 7. A surround 282 can cover the drip irrigators 278 and tubing sections 280. Inlet 284 and outlet 286 couple to conduit 210 of supply line 202. Other suitable drip irrigators or similar flow restricting devices can also be used to form metering device 124. [0055] In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, system 100 includes one or more additional supplies 200 of cleaning agent 201, as shown in FIG. 3, that can be selectively mixed with the flow of primary cleaning liquid component 216. Thus, system 100 can include a second supply of cleaning agent 290, such as a surfactant as described above for first cleaning agent supply 200. Alternatively, second cleaning agent supply 290 can be a brightener, a disinfectant, or other surface treatment chemical. Supply of second cleaning agent 290 is preferably contained in a container, such as collapsible bag 308, of a cleaning agent cartridge as will be discussed below with respect to first cleaning agent supply 200. [0056] In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a second flow control device 2922, which is substantially identical to flow control device 204, is provided to control the injection of a flow 294 of the second cleaning agent from supply 290. Additionally, a valve 293, a pressure regulator 294 and/or a metering device 296 can also be included to provide additional control over the flow 294 of the second cleaning agent. Valves, such as valves 242 and 293, can be selectively opened and closed to control whether one or both of the first and second cleaning agent supplies 200 and 290 is added to the flow of the primary cleaning liquid component 216 to form the desired cleaning liquid 220.Alternatively, second cleaning agent supply 290 can be fed to valve 298 system 100, which can be a multi-way valve capable of selecting the first cleaning agent supply 200 of the second cleaning agent 290 to be passed to flow control device 204 thereby eliminating the need for the second flow control device 292 and the related components. [0057] The supplies of cleaning agent, such as first and second supplies 200 and 290 (FIG. 3), are preferably contained in a collapsible container 200 that can be a component of a cleaning agent cartridge 208, which will be discussed in greater detail with reference to FIGS. 8-11. Cleaning agent cartridge 208 generally includes collapsible container 200 having an interior cavity 300 and conduit 302, as shown in FIG. 8. Conduit 302 includes a first end 304 that is coupled to interior cavity 300 and a second end 306 that is connectable to flow control device 204 through, for example, cleaning agent supply line 202. A volume of 2.8 liters, for example, of the cleaning agent 201 can preferably be contained within interior cavity 300 for dispensing to flow control device 204 through supply line 202. [0058] Container 200 is preferably a collapsible bag that is completely sealed except where connected to conduit 302. Thus, container 200 shrinks as the cleaning agent 201 stored therein is depleted. In accordance with this embodiment, container 200 can be formed of vinyl or other suitable material. Alternatively, container 200 can take the form of a rigid container, such as a box, that includes a vent for replacing dispensed cleaning agent 201 with air. Container 200 can be transparent or translucent to allow the cleaning agent 201 to be viewed. Additionally, container 200 can be formed of a material that prevents the exposure of the cleaning agent contained therein from light. [0059] First end 304 of conduit 302 is preferably attached to container 200 such that it is flush with the inside of outlet 308. A seal 310 is formed between first end 304 and container 200 at outlet 308 to prevent cleaning agent 201 from escaping at that junction. In accordance with one embodiment, seal 310 includes an annular neck 312 surrounding first end 304 and adjoining container 200. A weld can be formed between annular neck 312, first end 304 and container 200 to further seal the junction. Other methods for sealing the junction of first end 304 and container 200 can also be used. [0060] Conduit 302 can also include a flow control member 314, shown in FIG. 9, mounted to second end 306 of conduit 302 to terminate the flow of cleaning agent 201 therethrough when conduit 302 is disconnected from flow control device 204. Flow control member 314 preferably includes a connector (e.g., quick-disconnect coupling) 316 that includes a shut-off valve that is actuated when disconnected from flow control device 204 to seal container 200 and prevent the out flow of cleaning agent 201 therethrough. Other types of flow control members 314 can also be installed at second end 306 of conduit 302 to seal interior cavity 300 of container 200 such as a valve, a metering device, a clamp, a membrane, or a cap. [0061] In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, cleaning agent cartridge 208 includes a housing 318, shown in FIG. 10, that can enclose container 200, conduit 302, connector 316 and flow control member 352. Housing 318 provides protection and support to container 200, which is particularly useful when container 200 is in the form of a collapsible bag 308. Housing 318 is preferably made from a single piece of rigid or semi-rigid material, such as plastic, cardboard and/or metal that is folded to form a box, which is preferably glued shut at, for example, tab 320. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, housing 318 is formed of corrugated plastic or cardboard. [0062] Housing 318 also includes openings 322 and 324 on at least one side wall 326 that are preferably defined by removable portions 328 and 330, respectively. Portions 328 and 330 have perforated edges 332 and 334, which facilitate their easy removal to expose openings 322 and 324. Housing 318 can also include apertures 336 and 338 to provide finger access to further simplify the removal of portions 328 and 330. Opening 322 generally provides visual access to container 200 and allows a user to asses the volume of cleaning agent 201 contained therein. Opening 324 also provides access to conduit 302, connector 316 and flow control member 352 for connection to flow control device 204. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, opening 324 and removable portion 330 can also be formed on bottom 340 through which conduit 302 can extend for efficient dispensing of the cleaning agent 201 in container 200, as shown in FIG. 10. Other openings can also be provided in housing 318 as desired. [0063] Cleaning agent cartridge 208 is preferably removably receivable in a cartridge receiver 342 of cleaner 110, shown in FIG. 11. Cartridge receiver 342 can be a bracket having a back plate 344, opposing side walls 346 and 348, a front wall 350, and a bottom 352. Back plate 344 is mountable to a wall of cleaner 110 to position cleaning agent cartridge 208 proximate flow control device 204. Bottom 352 and side wall 346 include an opening through which conduit 302 can extend for connection to flow control device 204. Cartridge 208 can be secured to cartridge receiver 342 using a strap or other suitable means. Due to the limited jostling that occurs during cleaning operations, such securing devices are typically unnecessary. Multiple cleaning agent cartridges 234 can be provided proximate their corresponding flow control device 204 to accommodate the multiple chemical dispenser embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 3. [0064] In operation, cleaning agent cartridge 208 is provided and a cleaning agent container 200 is stored in interior cavity 300 of container 200. Next, second end 306 of conduit 302 is coupled to flow control device 204 and cartridge 208 is installed in cartridge receiver 342. Flow control device 204 can then receive the cleaning agent container 200 through conduit 302, which connects to conduit 210 to form supply line 202, and provide a controlled output flow 208 of cleaning agent, as discussed above. When container 200 is a collapsible bag 308, container 200 collapses in response to the output flow of cleaning agent 208. [0065] In accordance with another embodiment of the invention, cleaning liquid dispensing system 100 includes an aerator 400. Aerator 400 is configured to receive the output flow of cleaning liquid 220 and aerate the cleaning liquid to produce an output flow of foamed cleaning liquid 402. A foamed cleaning liquid distributor 404 can receive the output flow of foamed cleaning liquid 402 and discharge the output flow 402 for wetting of a hard surface 406, as illustrated in FIG. 3. [0066] Aerator 400 preferably includes at least one aerating nozzle 420, as shown in FIG. 4 and the simplified cross-sectional view of FIG. 12. Nozzle 420 includes a nozzle body 422 having an inlet 424 coupled to the output 222 of the flow control device 204 for receiving the output flow of cleaning liquid 220. A suitable fitting 426 (FIG. 4) can connect to nozzle 420 at threaded section 428 (FIG. 12) to couple inlet 424 to conduit 430 through which cleaning liquid flow 220 travels from output 222 of flow control device 204. The output flow of cleaning liquid 220 travels through a bore 432 toward an outlet 434 of nozzle 420. The bore 432 includes a constricted throat portion 436 having a convergent upstream end 438 and a divergent downstream end 440. Nozzle 420 also includes one or more gas inlets or radial ports 442 extending through a side 444 of the body 422 to throat 436. Air, represented by arrows 446, is sucked through one or more gas inlets or radial ports 442 in response to a vacuum generated within throat 436 by the output flow of cleaning liquid 220 for mixing therewith. The aeration of the cleaning liquid 220 by air induction through radial ports 442 produces the aerated or foamed cleaning liquid 402 that is discharged through outlet 434 of nozzle 420. It should be understood that some aeration of cleaning liquid occurs upstream of aerator 400 due to the injection of air into the flow of cleaning agent 214 by pressure regulator 206. One example of a suitable nozzle 420 is the “FoamJet” nozzle (also designated as FJP-20015-CE) produced by Spraying Systems Company of Wheaton, Ill. [0067] A check valve, such as check valve 450 shown in FIG. 4, is preferably upstream of outlet 434 of nozzle 420 to terminate the flow of cleaning liquid 220 through nozzle 420 when pump 228 is deactivated. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the check valve 450 is integrated into nozzle 420. [0068] The foamed cleaning liquid 402 from aerator 400 is a very wet foam relative to that used by carpet cleaners. Such a wet foam is necessary to provide the desired wetting of the hard floor surface. A foam's “wetness” or “dryness” may be defined in relation to this volumetric expansion ratio. A “dry” foam has a higher expansion ratio as compared to a “wet” foam. High-expansion foams are “dry” due to the high ratio of air to water and are useful in carpet cleaning to facilitate quick drying of the cleaned carpet. A “wet” foam is not used in carpet cleaning devices since they can cause excessive wetting of the carpet, which leads to long drying times and may result in mold development. In a particular embodiment of the invention, the ratio of volumes between the cleaning liquid (non-aerated) 220 and the foamed cleaning liquid 402 is approximately 1:8. For example, 0.15 gallons of cleaning liquid is aerated to occupy 1.25 gallons. Other volume ratios may yield acceptable wetting results as well. [0069] Cleaning liquid dispensing system 100 can also include a foamed cleaning liquid distributor 404, shown schematically in FIG. 3. Foamed cleaning liquid distributor 404 is generally configured to direct the output flow of foamed cleaning liquid 402 for wetting of a surface 406, such as the surface ill on which cleaner 110 travels; wetting the scrubbing member 122 of scrub head 120; or other surfaces as will be discussed below. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, foamed cleaning liquid distributor 404 includes nozzle 420, which directs the output flow of foamed cleaning liquid 402 directly to the desired surface 406, as illustrated in the schematic diagram of FIG. 13. One or more nozzles 420 can be coupled to the output flow of cleaning liquid 220 by conduit 430 to cover a wide section of surface 406 that extends across a width of cleaner 110. Outlet 434 of each nozzle 420 is preferably slotted to provide wide dispersion of the foamed cleaning liquid output flow 402. As mentioned above, check valves 450 can be placed upstream of outlet 434 of nozzle 420 to prevent passage of cleaning liquid 220 through conduit 430 when pump 228 (FIGS. 3 and 4) is deactivated. [0070] In accordance with another embodiment of the invention, foamed cleaning liquid distributor 404 receives the output flow of foamed cleaning liquid 402 from outlet 434 of nozzle 420 and discharges the output flow of foamed cleaning liquid 402 for wetting of the desired surface 406, such as surface 111, as shown in FIG. 14. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, foamed cleaning liquid distributor 404 includes distributing conduit 452 having a first end 454 coupled to outlet 434 of nozzle 420 that receives the foamed cleaning liquid flow 402 and discharges the flow 402 to the desired surface 406, as shown in FIGS. 1, 4 and 14. Distributing conduit 452 can include one or more sections or branches 456 that receive foamed cleaning liquid flow 402 from a second end 458 of conduit 452 and operate to spread out the discharging of the foamed cleaning liquid flow 402 directly to surface 406, such as surface 111 across the width of cleaner 110, as shown in FIG. 14. Check valves 460 can be provided in each branch 456 of distributing conduit 452, or in line with the branch 462 of distributing conduit 452 receiving the cleaning liquid flow 402 from outlet 434 of nozzle. [0071] Branches 456 can also be configured to discharge the foamed cleaning liquid flow 402 onto scrubbing member 122 of scrub head 120, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, which in turn wets surface 111. As illustrated in FIG. 15, distributing conduit 452 can discharge foamed cleaning liquid flow 402 into an annular trough 464 in the hub 466 of the rotating scrubbing members 122. A series of holes 468 in the bottom of trough 464 pass the foamed cleaning liquid 402 down to the central region of the scrubbing member 122. During operation, the foamed cleaning liquid 402 is centrifuged out under the scrubbing member 122 in contact with-the hard floor surface 111. [0072] Another embodiment of distributing conduit 452 is illustrated in the front plan view of FIG. 16 and the cross-sectional view of FIG. 17 taken generally along line 17-17 of FIG. 16. Distributing conduit 452 includes one or more substantially horizontal sections or branches 456 that include a plurality of apertures 470 in a top side 472 that is opposite a floor-facing side 474. Sections 456 of distributing conduit 452 are preferably formed of rigid plastic tubing that is mounted to cleaner 110 in a desired location. Each section 456 includes an end cap 476 closing an end 478. During operation, foamed cleaning liquid flow 402 travels into closed sections 456. Once sections 456 fill with foamed cleaning liquid 402, the foamed cleaning liquid 402 is discharged through apertures 470. The discharged foamed cleaning liquid 402 flows over the exterior surface 480 of sections 456 and drops to the surface immediately below, such as surface 111. Preferably, the apertures 470 positioned closest to ends 478 have a larger diameter than those farther from ends 478 to compensate for pressure drops in sections 456. This design of foamed cleaning liquid distributor 404 prevents undesirable dripping of foamed cleaning liquid 402 to the surface following deactivation of pump 228 of dispensing system 100 by containing the foamed cleaning liquid 402 within sections 456 of distributing conduit 452. [0073] In accordance with another embodiment of the invention, foamed cleaning liquid distributor 404 includes a wand member 490, shown in FIG. 18, that allows a user to direct the foamed cleaning liquid to a surface 492 that is remote from cleaner 110. Wand member 490 generally includes a rigid tubing section 494 supporting nozzle 420 of aerator 400 at a dispensing end 496. Accordingly, wand member 490 can operate in the manner described above with reference to FIG. 13. A length of flexible tubing 430 connects a receiving end 498 to output 222 of flow control device 204. During operation a user can extend the tubing 430 from cleaner 110 and apply the foamed cleaning liquid 402 to remote hard surface 492, such as a wall or an object, for cleaning. [0074] [0074]FIG. 19 is a schematic diagram of a foamed cleaning liquid distributor 404 that includes first and second distributing components 500 and 502, respectively. The discharging of foamed cleaning liquid 402 through either first or second distributing component 500 or 502 is controlled by a valve 504. First and second distributing components 500 and 502 can comprise any of the embodiments of foamed cleaning liquid distributor 404 described above. For example, first distributing component 500 can take the form of wand member 490 (FIG. 18) and second distributing component 502 can take the form of distributing conduit 452 shown in FIG. 14. As a result, foamed cleaning liquid 402 can be easily applied to different types of surfaces, such as surfaces 506 and 508. [0075] As discussed above, hard floor surface cleaner 110 can be configured to include a motorized scrub head 120 that includes a scrubbing member 122 that is configured for rotating engagement with hard floor surface 111, over which the mobile body 127 of cleaner 110 travels. FIGS. 20 and 21 show simplified front and side views of a front or leading portion of a cleaner 110 that includes a scrub head 120 in accordance with another embodiment of the invention. Scrub head 120 includes a scrubbing member 122 formed of a plurality of discs 510 mounted to a shaft 512 that is rotated by a motor (not shown). The discs 510 are preferably concentrically aligned with the axis of rotation 514 of the shaft 512 and can be positioned to engage surface 111. Discs 510 can be mounted to shaft 512 using glue or other suitable means. Discs 510 are preferably formed of a liquid absorbing material, such as material composed of approximately 70% polyester and 30% polyamide, or microfiber. Such liquid absorbing material is known to hold many times its weight in viscous liquid. Additionally, such material collects dirt, dust, mildew and other materials without a need for a large volume of foamed cleaning liquid 402, thereby eliminating a need for fluid recovery device 132 (FIG. 1). Large particles of dirt and dust that do not adhere to the discs 510 can be captured by a debris collector 516 positioned immediately behind scrub head 120. Another advantage to the vertically oriented discs 510 is that they can clean grooves that may be encountered in tile, brick, cement, and rock floors. As illustrated in FIG. 21, foamed cleaning liquid distributor 404 can discharge the foamed cleaning liquid 402 to a leading side 518 of scrub head 120 as indicated by arrow 520, on discs 510 as indicated by arrow 522, or even through the scrubbing member 122. [0076] [0076]FIG. 22 is a simplified side elevation view of another embodiment of hard floor surface cleaner 110 that does not include a motorize scrub head 120. Such a scrubber-less cleaner 110 can be used on delicate floor surfaces that would be susceptible to abrasive damage from contact with rotating scrubbing members 122. Cleaner 110 relies upon the cleaning power of the foamed cleaning liquid 402 that is applied to hard floor surface 111 by system 100, as illustrated by arrow 530, to clean the surface 111. The wetting of the floor with the foamed cleaning liquid 402 traps dirt particles with the bubbles of the foam, which are then carried into the recovery tank 112 by the fluid recovery system 132. The scrubber-less cleaner 110 uses far less power than those including motorized scrub heads 120 thereby allowing for the removal of some of the batteries 152 used to power cleaner 110. Scrubber-less cleaner 110 can also be formed much lighter and smaller due to the elimination of scrub head 120 and batteries 152, or the solution and recovery tanks 118 and 112 can be formed larger to accommodate longer operational runtimes for cleaner 110. Finally, the elimination of some of the components of cleaner 110 allows scrubber-less cleaner 110 to be manufactured quicker and cheaper that those incorporating scrub heads 120. [0077] In order to facilitate complete wetting of hard floor surface 111, cleaner 110 can include a non-motorized wetting component 540, shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, which are front and side views of a leading portion of cleaner 110, respectively. Wetting component 540 generally includes a plurality of liquid dispersing members 542 each having a first end 544 that is connected adjacent to a bottom side 546 of mobile body 127 of cleaner 110. A second end 548 of each liquid dispersing member 542 is positioned to engage hard floor surface 111. Liquid dispersing members 542 are preferably formed of a soft material that conforms to surface 111. Foamed cleaning liquid 402 is discharged by foamed cleaning liquid distributor 404 of dispensing system 100 either on members 542 as indicated by arrow 550, or to a leading side of members 542 as indicated by arrow 552, as shown in FIG. 24. Liquid dispersing members 542 evenly distribute the foamed cleaning liquid 402 on surface 111 as cleaner 110 moves across surface 111. Cleaner 110 may include a scrub head 120 downstream of liquid dispersing members 542 to scrub surface 111 with evenly distributed foamed cleaning liquid 402 thereon, or cleaner 110 can be scrubber-less and a portion of the foamed cleaning liquid 402 can be removed from surface 111 by fluid recovery system 132. [0078] Another embodiment of the invention is directed to a foamed cleaning liquid dispensing kit that is configured to be retrofitted to a hard surface cleaner 110 that includes a primary cleaning liquid component dispenser (i.e., tank 218 and pump 228) that is configured to provide an output flow 216 of primary cleaning liquid component (FIG. 3). The kit includes packaging that can contain a supply of cleaning agent (such as supply 200), a flow control device (such as 204), a supply line (such as 202) comprising sections of conduit, a pressure regulator (such as 206), a metering device (such as 260), and an aerator (such as 400) that are formed in accordance with the embodiments described above. The packaging can be any suitable packaging such as a bag, a shrink-fit package, a box, a canister, etc. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, cleaning agent container 200 is contained in a cleaning agent cartridge 208. Additionally, embodiments of foamed cleaning liquid distributor 404 can be included in the kit and contained in the packaging. [0079] Although the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, workers skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. It should be understood that fittings, couplings and other conventional components have not been illustrated to simplify the figures.

first post | The Apathetic Reviewer
first post How a lazy girl shall lose weight January 21, 2011March 15, 2011 / pauliree / Leave a comment
Well people, I have known for some time now that I needed to go on a diet. In fact I have been trying for the better part of a year to overcome my need for chocolate and chips and my inherent laziness which means I like to sit on the couch and watch tv and movies. Anyway I saw a picture of myself from my father’s birthday party on New Year’s Eve. It was rather hot so I was wearing a singlet top. With so called ‘Tuck Shop Lady Arms’ flapping in the strong northerly breeze, it was not a good look. I saw photos later and was horrified at how other people see me. It was time for a change!
Bring in the Lite’n’Easy!!
For the lazy girl there is nothing better than Lite’n’Easy. It comes to your door and they tell you what to eat each day and when to eat it! All you need to do is buy Milk. I have been on it for two weeks now and while I lost only a little bit of weight last week I am expecting a better result this week. I am weighing myself tomorrow and I will report the results.
I also bought myself a Wii Fit game. So far I have been good and used it for about half an hour a night. I haven’t got bored yet so things are looking up. It is so much easier for me than a gym membership as I know that if I buy one I won’t go. For a large girl it is embarrassing going to the gym and seeing all those lithe young bodies who don’t really need to go as far as they do with the exercise. They are there to make us look bad.
Anyway, I shall monitor my progress and see if the Wii Fit is all it is cracked up to be. It certainly is amusing anyway.
Well, as my first post this hasn’t been too painful. I will see how it goes further down the track

Relindonesia: A sad meeting of Gülen people in Brussels
A Gülen Chair is one of the many elements of a national branch of the Hizmet Movement (besides schools, dialogue centre, media, charity, journalists and writers association). The Leuven Chair began in 2011 or 2012 with Johan Leman as the first professor. 15-16 March 2016 an International Symposium was held in Brussels under the title of Countering violent extremism: Mujahada and Muslims' Responsibility.
About 60 national branches of the movement had sent representatives and people interested to attend the meeting. There were about some 30 participants from the Netherlands among the 300/400 people. Among the first I met were two from UIN Jakarta: Prof. Dr. Masykuri Abdillah (director of the Graduate School of Pasca Sarjana) and Dr. Ali Unsal, Director of the Gülen Chair at Syarif Hidayatullah (UIN) in Ciputat/Jakarta. He speaks fluent Indonesian! This is quite different from what I heard about the Gülen school in Semarang, but I was really happy to see and hear this development of a Gülen corner in my first Alma Mater in Indonesia.
For the illustrations of this story I include some pictures of with special hat, turbans or other cover on their head.
People from the seven Muslim cultures can be seen through this special covering of the head.
The talks, debates in plenary sessions and workshops were all about the specific theme. But in the individual discussions there were many stories about the tragedy of the split between Erdogan and Gülen since mid-2013 (Gezi Park demonstrations). It was not only the closing of Zaman or even the stealing of this major symbol and instrument of the Gülen Movement. Wives of Gülen teachers abroad arriving in Turkey see their passports cut in pieces, because they are on the list of Gülen people. A man who had donated money for a student at a Gülen school: put in prison. The richest business people have lost their property, put in prison and their business taken over by the government. People who donated money to Kimse Yok Mu, the charity of Gülen now know that they will be on the blacklist.
There was a debate about examples in history when such a state attack on a religious organization had occurred. The Jesuits were banned in many European countries between 1760-1820, first in France, Spain, Austria and finally also by the pope and the Vatican. In the 1860s Catholic religious orders were banned from educational activities by the German government (Kulturkampf). It became clair to me that the situation of the attack against the Gülen or Hizmet related activities is much morw widespread and more intense than I thaught until now.
Like with so many Gülen events, there were many more Western academics given a talk than Gúlen people themselves. Paule Weller (above) from Derby University in the UK was one of the best in formulating the difficult subject of what terrorism and extremism, radicalism etc. is. Below a picture of myself with a Kurdish participant.
In fact we were not even able to give good definitions of the long series of radicalism, violent extremism etc., let alone to formulate a good medicine for this social disease, but it was a good meeting.
On Dutch television Prof. Beatrice de Graaf gave a historical overview of 4 terrorist movements in the last 150 years: 10 the anarchist from Bakoenin, 1870s until 1914: First World War; 2) nationalist movements from Algeria, Ireland, to Indonesia, finally successful, between 1920-1960; 3) leftist movements between 1970-1990 (dying out with the end of Communism). Among these Rote Armee. 4) Islamic extremism since the 1990s.

You've probably already seen the video by now. A woman somewhere in Asia misses her flight and she freaks out. For three operatic minutes, she swoons over the desk, she wails and stomps, she writhes on the floor and wails in multi-octave grief. "They have no compassion!" the woman shouts. "They're crazy!"Cathay Pacific, the airline that refused her entry, is now apologizing. One of its employees took video of the episode, which (no one knows how) ended up on YouTube, where it has collected the jeers of the world (but so far, no Oscars). The airline says it has "disciplined" the worker who shot it and has offered the woman, who is a regular customer and mortified with embarrassment, a free upgrade on her next trip or a refund of the frequent flier miles she used to book the missed trip to San Francisco.A free upgrade? Are they kidding?How many people have seen this flip-out? The main YouTube posting of it has nearly 5 million views. That's half as many people as watched last week's episode of Lost on ABC. That doesn't count all the duplicate copies out there getting views of their own. As inappropriate as it may have been for the woman to have such a dramatic and public freak-out, it was much more inappropriate for airline employees to post a video of it online for the entire world to mock. I can understand the impulse to record the incident -- you never know if she's going to hurt herself or others, and you'd want the proof in case of future accusations -- but I can't condone the posting of this to YouTube. The punishment doesn't fit the crime.We also don't know why the woman was so upset to have missed her flight. She won't come forward in the press because she's too humiliated. The assumption is that she was just being over-dramatic. But maybe it caused her to miss the funeral of someone she loved. To be honest, if you consider that her meltdown could have a tragic origin, the video becomes pretty hard to watch. | [

Thank you. I need to forward this info to my boss who lives in the foothills of Sylmar. From what I'm trying to put together, the fire is moving to the east and south of him. Trying to get info or a map has been a challenge. He's still up with his wife and kids trying to find out the same info.

Slaying, Suicide: End to Mother's Inner Strength - The Washington Post
Slaying, Suicide: End to Mother's Inner Strength
In a Metro section article yesterday, an economist misstated the cost of legal fees incurred by Cory Watts and his family in the course of a suit against Bell Helmets. Watts' lawyers took no fees. Most of the costs associated with the trial were a result of hiring expert witnesses to testify at the trial. CAPTION: Picture, Cory Watts . . . $500,000 in medical bills.
By Michael Specter July 12, 1985
Cordelia Watts was a feisty Chinese woman who married an American fighter pilot after the Korean War and came home to Alexandria with him. She was not afraid of adversity and had what friends said was a will of iron.
When her husband Roy contracted polio 28 years ago, she took it in stride, friends said yesterday. In 1982, when her youngest son, Cory, was severely injured in a motorcycle accident, Cordelia Watts was constantly by his side. But friends said that after the accident, her inner strength began to crumble.
On Wednesday, two hours after the family lost a $10 million lawsuit that would have helped to offset Cory's medical bills, already more than $500,000 and growing at a rate of $50,000 a year, Cordelia Watts, 52, sent her husband on an errand, took the family revolver and emptied it into her son and herself.
"She just loved that boy so much you could see the pain inside her," said Patricia Tiernan, who had worked for two years as a rehabilitation therapist with Cory, who was left with brain damage and partial paralysis. "She fought for that kid from the moment he had the accident. She was angry and she was tough."
On Wednesday, after eight hours of deliberations, a jury in U.S. District Court in Alexandria found no merit in a $10 million suit filed by the Watts family against Bell Helmets of Norwalk, Calif.
The suit contended that Bell had defectively designed the "Tourstar" helmet that Cory wore the night the motorcycle he was riding crashed into a concrete median on Shirley Highway in Arlington. The helmet cracked above the nape of his neck in the accident.
"I didn't feel good about that verdict, I don't think anybody did," said Ann P. Bay, education director of the Smithsonian Institution, who was a juror in the three-day trial. "Everybody would have loved to give them the money. They obviously needed it. But the evidence was so strongly in favor of Bell. We had no choice."
Yesterday, people who knew Cordelia Watts, her husband Roy and their three children, said the court decision was the one defeat she could not handle, and that she feared for the future of their 22-year-old son who needed constant care and continuing medical attention.
"You don't see many people like Cordelia. She had so many disappointments, and she just shrugged them off," said James McClure, director of guidance at Alexandria's T.C. Williams High School, where Cory was on the crew team until he graduated in 1981. "Roy had polio and that was hard on her. But Cory was her pride and joy and it just killed her to see him torn apart like that."
Cory went into a coma that lasted for three months immediately after the accident on Oct. 11, 1982.
Kathy Katz of Georgetown University Hospital's Child Development Center testified during the trial that she had examined Cory and found that after the accident he was mildly retarded, functioning on about the level of a 12-year-old.
His family testified that he was forgetful and that he had to have his food cut into pieces in order to feed himself. During Cory's stay in the hospital, Cordelia was there every day, friends said.
"She was always there. Every time I saw Cory, she was there, too," said Kathy O'Boyle, a neighbor of the Watts family on Stevens Street. "The older two were different than Cory, more independent, but Mrs. Watts cherished Cory." Friends and neighbors said that Cory and his mother were not always as close before the accident as she wanted them to be.
"She was incredibly strong and goal-oriented," said McClure, who has known the family for 15 years. "She wanted achievement from her children. Mei-Mei (26) and Raymond (28) were extremely bright. Cory was average, and average wasn't good enough for Cordelia."
Mrs. Watts insisted that Cory, an outstanding member of the crew team, but a shy, quiet teen-ager, take rigorous college preparatory courses when he had little desire to continue his education, according to McClure. "There was always a power struggle within the family," he said. "Cordelia could be very tough, but she always, always, wanted the best for her children."
Roy Watts, 61, who issued a statement on the family's behalf yesterday, calling for more stringent safety measures for motorcycle riders, declined further comment on the deaths of his wife and son. He has been a contracting officer with the Navy for the last 17 years, according to court documents.
Watts can walk only with the help of canes or crutches, and friends said he is a quiet man rarely seen or heard outside the house, even by neighbors who knew his wife well.
Recently, at the father's suggestion, the family bought Cory a personal computer, hoping that it might aid his memory and cognitive development, friends said.
"My father can't speak now. He has nothing to add at the moment," Mei-Mei Watts said yesterday. "My brother was a wonderful boy . . . and now our lives are just wrecked."
Almost everyone involved in the case against Bell, from the Bell lawyer to a courtroom reporter who thought Cordelia Watts had seemed "very strong and controlled," expressed shock at the news of the murder-suicide.
"What can you say about something like that?" said Fred. C. Alexander Jr., who represented Bell in the product liability suit. "Nobody could possibly anticipate it. We are all horrified. The people at Bell can only send the deepest condolences."
Some neighbors said that the constant thought that someday soon there might not be enough money to give Cory basic medical care caused the family the greatest distress.
Richard Lurito, an economist who testified as an expert witness at the trial, said that the Watts family spent more than $30,000 on legal fees during the long course of the litigation.
"They are dead broke," Lurito said. "They invested everything they had in this case and it wiped them out. There is absolutely nothing left."
Tiernan, the rehabilitation therapist who worked with the family and whose own child died after an automobile accident, said that the cost of therapy -- averaging about $18,000 a month for a bedridden person -- has become so profoundly expensive that many parents despair.
"The scope of this tragedy is huge," she said. "There is nothing more horrible in the world than to wonder what is going to happen to someone you love if they are incapacitated. It would make anyone sick." | [

Stripping It Down | World of Wonders
In the corner of our yard nearest the gravel road is an old wringer washer. It sits beneath a fir tree with its barrel filled with earth and dirt and sprouting flowers over the rim. Further back, near the front door, an old wagon wheel leans against a pine tree. Both of them hearken back to a simpler time. Rustic, some might say, but for me merely elegant and uncomplicated.
It surprised us both, this abrupt introduction to the nature of stuff. It sits on our shelves, rests in our closets, nestles in our corners singing it histories. We come to need that voice. We come to believe that it defines us, gives us definition, offers scope to our living, our being here. But in the end, when you strip it away, it’s just stuff.
Oh, there’s the usual accepted arrangement of things still. Along with the woodstove in the living room is a television, stereo, computers, furniture and we’ve held on to the art that retains its original frankness.
It reminds me of my journey back to reclaiming my culture. In the beginning I thought that I needed a conglomeration of stuff to make me an Indian. I thought I had to live my life within an Indian motif, with native art, native books, native music and native fashion. So I collected roomfuls of stuff.
I was to ask myself why my question was important, why it was necessary that I move to knowledge, and more importantly, how it felt to not carry the answer. Once I’d discerned that, I was to cut a small square of cloth with the scissors, then take a pinch of the tobacco, place it in the cloth and tie it with ribbon.
That ceremony stripped away all of the stuff that blocked me from myself. In the end it didn’t matter how I looked or what I wore. All that mattered was the nature of my question. All that mattered was how I felt about the answer. All that mattered was that I learned that it’s the stuff you carry within you that gives you definition, not what you own, collect or cling to.
There is stuff that sings its histories in our lives. It sits in the corners of our being adding resonance to our living. It’s the stuff of our passages, our time here, the assembled chorus of our spirit. It’s the important stuff, the life altering, life affirming stuff.
You have to learn to strip it down in order to hear it, to sacrifice. When you do you come to learn that what you need is far less than what you have, even what you desire and it frees you. I wouldn’t be less Indian by not knowing that – only less human.

How’d you decide on which lyrics to use? There are a bunch of good ones out there, and you managed to get the letters to fit perfectly on the two canvases (canvi?). Well done! 😀
Reply messycharlie June 30, 2012 at 11:21 pm I got four canvases for my birthday a few years ago and only used two of them! So yeah I did have them lying around 😛 I think I just had them in my head at the time and decided to use them. Such planning. | [

Chrys' World: Two minutes is an eternity
Posted by Crystal* at Friday, July 17, 2009
Good on you for getting the running bug. Here's some advice from a runner who started out as a big girl too: Get a good sport bra. The best I can recommend is Enell. They are expensive, but mine are now three years old, get used a few times a week and are still like new so they are worth the investment. The boobies will not bounce I promise you. Secondly, get some god running music. Best place for FREE running tunes is iTunes podcast Podrunner by DJ Steve Boyett (You can also download from his website, just google him). It's a bit techno, and trance but keeps the beat and you can choose from slower beats per minute to high intensity. He also does a series called Podrunner Intervals which are designed to get you running up to your first 5K and then 10K with a run/walk/run program that you can take to your pace. Also free. Lastly, go to a proper running shoe store and find out what type of shoe best suits your stride and foot strike style. Trust me if you value your knees and hips you'll find one. Then, don't be terrified by the pricetags on those running shoes. You can often find a style or brand you like and then go to Zappos and get them much cheaper, or try one of thier bargain brands. If you're not keen on that, a good starting shoe is a cushioned shoe from Saucony. Do not get a cross training shoe! I mean it - they're rubbish.
You'll have to let us know how it all goes. Hooray!
Yay for you, I will cheer you on. Won't be joining you, however, I don't like running, never have.
I think its a great goal, good luck and keep us posted on your progress. | [

The first generation of nineteenth century Americans was generally anxious to remove the Anglo from their Anglo-Americanism. The generation that grew up in Jacksonian America matured during a period of nationalism, egalitarianism, and widespread reformism. Finally, the generation of the pre-war decades was innately diverse in terms of their ethnic backgrounds, employment, social class, education, language, customs, and religion. Americans were acutely aware of the need to create a stable and cohesive society firmly founded on the family and traditional family values. Yet the people of America were among the most mobile and diverse on earth. Geographically, socially, and economically, Americans (and those immigrants who wished to be Americans) were dedicated to change, movement, and progress. This dichotomy between tradition and change may have been the most durable and common of American traits, and it was a difficult quality to circumvent when trying to form a unified national persona.Volumes in the Family Life in America series focus on the day-to-day lives and roles of families throughout history. The roles of all family members are defined and information on daily family life, the role of the family in society, and the ever-changing definition of family are discussed. Discussion of the nuclear family, single parent homes, foster and adoptive families, stepfamilies, and gay and lesbian families are included where appropriate. Topics such as meal planning, homes, entertainment and celebrations, are discussed along with larger social issues that originate in the home like domestic violence, child abuse and neglect, and divorce.

Passing the Big Test - The Washington Post
Just how prestigious have pickup trucks become?
In an effort to see if, in fact, pickup trucks have become an acceptable form of travel at all levels of society, The Washington Post undertook its own informal survey.
We rented a Ford pickup from Koons Ford Inc. in Virginia. A brand new, model 150 pickup, it was bright orange with a full set of extras: power steering, power brakes air conditioning, AM-FM stereo radio, wall-to-wall carpeting, and automatic transmission.
It passed the first test. My girlfriend, 4-foot-11-inch Myla Lerner was able to easily drive it around a suburban neighborhood. She had never before been in a truck.
The truck successfully fit in the drive-in lane at my bank, where I was making a deposit. It did, however, screen from the teller's view the person who pulled up at my right, who was trying to complain that this deposit receipt showed "$0.00" on it after the teller had accepted his check.
After easily driving around the streets of Georgetown for several minutes, and forcing several cars to the side of some of the narrower streets (I did notice that while driving a pickup, everyone else gets out of the way), I drove up to the front of Rive Gauche, the costly and populor French restaurant at Wisconsin and "M" Streets frequented by Washington's elite.
Fully expecting to have to wait several minutes before the parking valet would realize that a pickup truck - rather a limonsine - was stopped there for dinner, I was surprised to see the attendant leap to open my door.
"You get many of these stopping here for dinner?" I asked.
"Third one tonight," said valet Alberto Gomez.
Gomez further said that there has been a marked increase in the number of pickup trucks arriving at the restaurant in the past six months.
He said he also has been an increase in the number of vans - but no mobile homes, yet.
But most interesting, perhaps, was Gomez' final assessment at the end of the evening as he delivered the truck back to its driver.
"Truckers," he said with a smile, "are also the best tippers." | [

Philip Booth's Scribe Life: Blogging the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival
Blogging the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival
One of the reasons I decided to begin blogging again was a recent assignment from the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.
The newspaper asked me to write a blog from the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. I've attended the festival umpteen times over the last umpteen years or so and I have the t-shirts to prove it, so it was a natural. I went to the first weekend of Jazzfest, as it's called by locals and devotees, and posted blogs and digital pix at the Herald-Trib's arts/entertainment blog site, called twentyfour7.
Overall, it was a great experience, although it was a wee bit of a drag having to sacrifice even one minute of my precious fest time for some time spent in the fest's media tent. There, several computers with online access were made available to working journalists. The Internet connection, though, was somewhat spotty -- the connection kept being dropped. I did the bulk of my blogging back at my hotel room, in between the daytime music at the Fair Grounds and the nighttime club shows.
Is blogging the best way for a daily paper to cover the fest, or other major arts/entertainment events? I'd have to say that it's a great component of fest coverage, and the immediate gratification was great for writer and (I hope) audience alike.
The results aren't in yet on the number of unique page visits, but I certainly alerted a lot of my friends, music-journalism colleagues, and "threadhead" pals I've encountered online at the Jazzfest's chat board. I also picked up a couple of shout-outs from a couple of fellow bloggers, including Professor M. (not to be confused with Professor X), a former office mate in the USF English department and an awfully intelligent guy who writes about film noir and other topics at a site titled The Flexible Generalist; and Mrs. Professor M., a music teacher and flutist who makes her thoughts known via a site called The Bee-Loud Glade.
Still, the fest is so large and significant that I think it deserved coverage in print, at least by way of a wrap-up story, along the lines of what Edna Gunderson wrote for USA Today or what Jon Pareles wrote for The New York Times. And, for some readers and editors, the only coverage that "counts" is the print coverage.
That said, I was thrilled to again cover the fest again for Billboard.com, an Internet destination that reportedly gets buku traffic. Online content doesn't live forever, or does it?

A $1 Statement
Dear Heloise: I was surprised when I opened one of my CREDIT-CARD STATEMENTS from a store. The company is now charging me a $1 "processing fee" for sending a paper statement in the mail! It will waive the fee from this point forward if I register online and receive my statements electronically. I suppose that had I complained, it would remove the fee, but I thought this was very interesting. Everything is going to the computer. -- A Reader, via e-mail
Welcome to our supposedly paperless society! We checked with a few credit-card companies, and guess what? It's true! Some boutiques and department stores are beginning to charge a dollar fee for paper statements! Companies are trying to save money and paper by not sending bills via postal mail. You should call your card company if you have questions about this. My question? If a customer does not have Internet access, why should the customer "pay" for having a monthly bill mailed? This does not sit well with me! -- Heloise
EASY PRESCRIPTION ID
Dear Heloise: When your doctor prescribes several medications at one time, it is very hard to remember which prescription is for what condition. Even though I have requested that pharmacists put what the prescription is for on the container, they frequently don't. (Note: Pharmacists are not allowed to put added information on the label unless instructed by the doctor. Ask your doctor to note the condition on the prescription. State laws may vary. -- Heloise)
When I get the meds home, I read the pamphlet to be sure which is which, then write on the label what each medication is for. This has been very helpful to me, especially if I need a refill; I know exactly which one to call in. The name of the medicine is hard to interpret, and I frequently don't remember what it is. -- C.S., via e-mail
Dear Readers: When applying hair spray, cover your ears with the cap of the hair spray, and you won't have sticky ears. -- Heloise
Dear Heloise: My idea for arranging scarves: I bought chain link (from a hardware store) that is coated and the right size for pulling a scarf through. Then I hung it on hooks that I had placed along a wall in my closet. I can see all scarves at a glance. -- Sharon Pane, Clark, N.J.
Dear Heloise: I have a suggestion for not running out of checks. When I put in a new set of checks, I tuck the deposit slips and the last check in the pad in the back of the checkbook holder. When I take the last check in view, it's actually NOT the last check, because I have one more! Then I know it's time to put another set of checks in my checkbook holder. -- Joan, via e-mail | [

By donna g May 10, 2016
I recently had the opportunity to see The Pitchfork Disney, directed by John Shooter. The play centres around a pair of siblings (Hayley and Presley Stray), living in a squalid East London flat, reminiscing about their dead parents while consisting on a diet of chocolate, mystery meds, and fear. To pass the time the siblings invent stories that are fantastical and nightmarish. Intruding on the Hansel and Gretel pair is Cosmo Disney, a circus-like character who possesses a twisted charisma that charms yet frightens Presley, and, later, Cosmo's sidekick, Pitchfork Cavalier.
donna g:The Pitchfork Disney is such a departure from Abigail's Party and Talking Heads. What precipitated the move in Precisely Peter Productions selecting Philip Ridley's play as its next theatrical offering?
John Shooter: When thinking of our mandate, l didn't want to be pigeonholed into doing specific types of plays, from a certain country, about a particular theme. I wanted to stage a diverse rang…
Hot Docs 2016 Interview: Katja Gauriloff on KAISA'S ENCHANTED FOREST
By donna g May 01, 2016
Kaisa'sEnchanted Forest is a very personal documentary for filmmaker, Katja Gauriloff', as it relates the Skokt Sámi culture and history of her great-grandmother, Kaisa (pictured left). Kaisa's story is inextricably linked to Swiss writer, Robert Crottet, whose dreams/hallucinations while suffering from tuberculosis, direct him to seek out the magical creatures and stories of northern Finland write about and film his experiences there. Below is my brief interview with the director of this fantastical documentary.
donna g: Most of us never have the opportunity to know our great-grandparents, but you knew your great-grandmother, Kaisa. She died when you were a child, but do you recall some of the stories she told you or is your knowledge based on the archival footage?
Katja Gauriloff: When I was a kid as I can recall things, our granny was already very old and lost her memory. I can remember some moments with her but she was already living in her past.
In that time she didn… | [

Displaced Myths
Descent of the maiden.
[...] Pale, beyond porch and portal,
With cold immortal hands ;
From many times and lands [...]
Algernon Charles Swinburne, The Garden of Proserpine
THE MAIDEN'S MYTH: While reaching for a narcissus, the young girl Persephone was rudely yanked away from her fields of flowers and into a cavernous entrance to the misty Underworld.
She had spent the first few years of her life in idyllic innocence, playing with nymphs while her mother Demeter fiercely protected her from the outside world, especially prospective suitors. However, when Hades asked Zeus for permission to take Persephone's hand in marriage, he didn't bother consulting the powerful goddess, instead whisking her daughter away to his dark realm without abandon.
Persephone, still little more than a naive and frightened child, missed her mother dearly at first. The Underworld was hardly a comforting place to live, and she felt Demeter's torment in the many dying souls as the outside world refused to flourish under the Spring Goddess' mourning. Her mother was bargaining with every god she knew, allowing the plants on earth to wither and waste until her daughter was back in her arms.
But before she could be sent home, Persephone, either out of naivety or a strange fondness towards the mysterious god who'd abducted her, foolishly ate six seeds from a cursed Underworld fruit - a pomegranate. This act damned her to the Underworld for half the year and permitted her to be free to leave with her beloved mother the other half, giving the earth winter and spring.
THE GODDESS' LEGACY: Now a fearsome goddess, her name is forbidden to mortals, and only referred to in hushed tones as "the Iron Queen". In becoming a ruler of the underworld, she has metamorphosed from an innocent youth into a matured, practical leader, though her verdant touch is seen in the trees of poplar and willow that now line the entrances to the underworld. They say her one moment of mercy upon the dead was granted at the request of the tragic musician Orpheus, whose sorrowful song convinced her to allow him to take back his wife, Eurydice, as long as he didn't look at her until her he was out of the realm of the dead, a task at which he failed.
Despite the cold nature of her work, Persephone has always been a just queen, permitting Heracles to borrow Cerberus to complete a task, allowing the seer Tiresias to maintain his far sight after his death, and lending Psyche an elixer of beauty so she may appease Aphrodite. However, her kindness did not extend to Minthe, a lovely nymph who boasted that she was more beautiful than Persephone and would make a far better queen for Hades. Persephone didn't take this particularly well, and angrily attacked the nymph, kicking her and turning her into a plant. She reacted similiarly to Leuce, who she turned into a particular favorite of hers, a poplar tree.
Despite her place in the secluded underworld, Persephone maintained a friendly relationship with the other gods. She also had some affection for the breathtakingly handsome Adonis, not wanting to give him back after Aphrodite had asked for her help in hiding him. Aphrodite may have been the gorgeous youth's favorite, but Persephone considers herself the true winner, getting to keep him after his death.
As of late, she's started exploring the modern human world out of a mix of boredom and curiosity. It's all very unfamiliar and confusing to her, but she's found her discoveries quite informative.
NATURE OF THE QUEEN: Persephone has always been a cheerful deity, with a great enjoyment of flowers and games. Being in the underworld has changed little of this aspect. She's very polite, and though she knows little about mortals and rarely sees living ones, she considers them interesting and delightful beings with a fresh insight on the world.
Since the initial resentment after her capture faded, she has grown more and more affectionate towards her husband, caring for him deeply despite everything that's happened. Persephone's willful and independent nature has been amplified since leaving home, and circumstance has forced her to grow beyond the submissive, passive role she held in her youth. She now insists on acting as her husband's equal, a fellow ruler of the dead. She's still a little quiet and reserved, and has childish tendencies to behave impulsively and follow fickle flights of fancy, but she is now in charge of her own destiny as well of the realm of the underworld.
Despite her new role, Persephone will always treasure her mother and the time they spent together in her youth. She knows that no one has done more for her, and always greatly enjoys the time spent in her nurturing company. She remains balanced between Hades' elegant wife and Demeter's sweet daughter, a dual persona representative of both life and death.
OTHER TRIFLES: This is an RP journal, using Emilie de Ravin as a PB.
Persephone's canon is lifted from traditional Greek mythology, with some embellishment and filling in the blanks. The concept of Persephone possibly eating the seeds on purpose is from an obscure variant of her tale, usually involving her Roman counterpart, Proserpine. | [

DINNER | COCO AND CRAVINGS
TURMERIC AND LEMON RICE
Posted on October 3, 2017 by cocoandcravings
If there is a spice that I’m constantly using and replacing almost every two weeks, that would be turmeric. It’s rich yellow colour alone makes it attractive and stand out from the rest of the spices in my opinion. This also happenes to be my brother’s favourite spice. Another reason why we are constantly running out of it.
So it is not a surprise that I decided to cook my rice differently from the usual plain white rice using turmeric and I was immediately hooked. The colour, aroma and taste made me put plain white rice on pause at the moment. With that said, let’s cook:
Turn on your heat and in a pot or sufuria, put enough cooking oil and cook your cumin seeds for a minute or until fragrant.
Next add your garlic and onions and sautee for a minute or two then proceed to add your spices and seasoning i.e turmeric, garlic powder, black pepper and salt and let this cook for two minutes on low heat.
Wash your rice then add it in the pot. Cook the rice on medium heat for two minutes to slightly toast it and also dry it. Stir occasionally. Once it is completely dry, squeeze in juice from half a lemon and stir.
Immediately after adding the lemon juice, add in two cups of water and stir in everything together. Let your rice cook for about ten minutes on medium heat and when the water has almost completely disappeared, you will notice that your onions and spices will be floating. Stir in the spices and onions only ONCE then cover and let it finish cooking undisturbed on low heat until completely dry.
Turn off the heat now and let it rest for an additional five to ten minutes then proceed to serve. Garnish with lemon slices and coriander and most importantly, Enjoy!

BROCCOLI AND BEEF STIR FRY:
Posted on August 23, 2017 by cocoandcravings
I grew up watching a lot of cartoons. I always looked forward to the Saturday morning cartoons and I would religiously wake up every Saturday to watch my favorite cartoons while my mother made breakfast in the kitchen. One thing that I noticed is that a huge number of these cartoon characters had a strong hatred towards broccoli. I somehow related because as a kid, you are inclined to hate anything that is green on your plate. My mother on the other hand, would always ensure I finish all my greens one way or another.
Fast forward to growing up and knowing all the health benefits that come from eating all your greens, I realized that it had been a while since I cooked broccoli. I was happy (my inner child is shaking her head) to come across some in the vegetable and fruits aisle in the supermarket while i was hunting for new spices to cook with. I cooked the broccoli with beef as a stir fry for lunch and we all enjoyed it. Enough story telling, let’s cook:
A quarter kilogram of beef
Two small carrots (chopped)
One tablespoon of Corn/wheat flour
Put your diced beef and one tablespoon of thyme in a pot to boil. This will tenderize your meat and also ensure that it is well done. If you do not like your meat well done, you can as well fry it together with the thyme to infuse the flavour. Set aside once done and be sure to save some of the boiled water once the meat is soft and ready to be taken off the heat because we are going to use it for later.
In a bowl, whisk about four tablespoons of soy sauce, four tablespoons of honey, lime juice and the grated ginger together and set aside.
In a shallow pan or wok, fry your onion and garlic until the onions are translucent or the garlic becomes fragrant.
Add in your diced tomatoes, broccoli and carrots together with the paprika, nutmeg and pinch of salt. Don’t put too much salt because we will be adding the soy sauce mix in later. Cook the broccoli for three to four minutes. Be sure not to overcook or else it will lose its nutritional value.
After four minutes, add in your previously boiled meat in the broccoli mix and stir until all is combined. Next add in your soy sauce mixture and let this cook for about two minutes. Take your boiled water from the meat that we had saved earlier and stir about one tablespoon of corn/wheat flour in it then add it to the stir fry for a heavy and thick sauce. Cover and let this cook for three minutes on low heat.
Turn off the heat and serve your broccoli stir fry. This can be enjoyed with either rice, spaghetti or chapati. Enjoy!

How to Spot a Dangerous Man: Characteristics of Narcissistic Mothers
A webpage recommendationI came across this webpage a few days ago and thought I would post it here for your benefit. The author has impressed me with their ability to describe the subtleties of the relationship between a narcissistic mother and her child(ren), and how her methods of control are myriad and many of them fly below the radar for onlookers. Only the child sees the look, hears the tone of her voice, understands the dire threat of punishment in a raised eyebrow....See if this person has captured your narcissistic mom.Characteristics of Narcissistic MothersUPDATE (10/28/09):The link above has gone dead. Here is a link to another site which has reproduced the content of the Geocities site.Click here

Adri Makes a Thing or Two: October 2015
Sweet Tidings to You!
It's only October, but the holiday card making season has just begun. This week was the first week of MATS B (Make Art That Sells, Part B). It was a good thing that the course started when it did as I got things somewhat in order and got back into the "making" groove here in our new home. I set up a workspace on the kitchen table that came in the mail a few days before class began. We put it together pretty quickly and cardboard boxes became work-space dividers, empty yogurt containers became brush holders, and old palettes from undergrad saved the day!
On a side note, though, does anyone else do that? Do you leave things for your future self just in case x, y, or z happens? I left a mini travel kit at my mom's house and unearthed a bunch of my tools last year when I visited during the holidays with the baby's first visit to the U.S. And lucky for me that I did because I had a great little kit waiting for me this time around when I had nothing but my 2 suitcases for the baby and me after the move from Germany!
The first week of MATS focuses on paper (greeting cards in this case). And our theme was holiday cookies. I started the mini using my dipping pen and nibs with Windsor & Newton india ink.
Then, I did some icon painting with gouache. And later I did some in Copic marker.
Next I put it together in Photoshop and Illustrator and worked on icon placement...
It seemed too brown to read as a holiday card, so I added blue and white to get that winter feeling in there. Then, I added some extra cookie illustrations within the jar, added texture to a bunch of items (jar, sprig, thread, tag, etc.). Finally, I put it all together in InDesign and added a few stationery accessories like the gift tags and possible stamps that I thought would work well with the remaining icons. See the first photo for the final result.
